Not to long ago someone posted how to do this, as long as the wheel has a clear I think you can using rubbing compound, post this in the paint or wheel section.

I have found that the best polishing method is some meguiars hot rims polish and some kimberly clark- scott 500 towels. And a really soft microfiber to remove polish. As long as ive done it this way it has never left so much as a fine scratch.
