Ben,
Looking at the wheels I would guess that they have some sort of clear coat on the part that looks metallic. But then again I could be wrong. Either way you could probably use a grinder fine wire wheel or a dremel to start for removing the heavy stuff. I've used various grades of steel wool mixed with Mother's metal polish after that. By the end you would hope to be down to rubbing with just the Mothers and a towel or a buffer wheel. Once no more black comes off on the towel, that thing should be blinding shiny in the sun. If there is a clear coat on the wheel then it will probably need to be taken off. Same deal use something a little coarse(but not enough to gouge the metal) to begin with and work your way into finer polish material. And if there is clear coat removed you will want to wax the metal. Otherwise it tends to re-oxidize fairly quickly. Same thing can be done to polish up the shocks.
