It depends how bad they are in... some autosol and a lot or rubbing or a sand blaster and some wheel paint! A friend and I refinished a few sets of fact alluminum wheels before we could afford new ones lol!

theres some crap i used on my very dull aluminum wheels and it brought them back to a nice shine. Heres a pic of the stuff and the drill attachment i used (came with a headlight restoration kit)
heres a before and after wheel, think i did one more polishing with the wheel after this pic.
the pictures dont really show how bad they used to look and how good they do now, but there is a big difference
