The polished alloy lip you mean ? Elbow grease or wheel refurbishment, you decide.

Ideally you need to seperate the centres ,sand the corrosion off ,machine polish the alloy and recoat with a quality lacquer.

Or powdercoat it silver, so less even maintenace in future

Mine were refurbed (powder coated) 10 years ago, and still look like new.
