Put the rear of your car on jack stands, block the fronts, and use like a lathe. Various grits of sandpaper or a file (if its really bad) is all you'd need.

I'll 2nd this!!

I have done this with my c5 zo6 wheels. I started with a 800 grit sand paper and just lightly used it to knock off the rough spots and the clear coat that was on the lip. (Mine have polished lip). After that I stepped to 1000grit wet sand to smooth everything out and blend it in then went to 2000 grit wet and at this point I would say paint them but mine was pollished so I pollished them.
