Sandpaper to smooth everything out, then black sealing goop. Easy fix.

Here's what I do. Note, it's lobor intensive!

There was a better article based on this but it's gone.

Have the wheels sandblasted by a machine or body shop, and then start
sanding. I sand mine down smooth, and when I finish they look like crome.

You can have them powdercoated with a clear powdercoating. Before doing
this, take the wheels off the car and get a big tub or something, hold
the wheel/tire in the water and look for bubbles. Sometimes they develop
pits that chew right through the wheel; you can resolve this with sealant
or with a ball-peen hammer; hammer over the sopts that are leaking.

If it's leaking from the bead, you'll either have to have the wheel
repaired, or, if you're lucky, if you follow the refinishing steps, file
down the imperfections. Leave enough 'meat' to hold the tire!!!!
