Try using some Mothers Mag and Aluminum Wheel Polish on them first. You will have to use some elbow grease. After you get the residue off, use Meguiars Quick Detailer on them. Just use a soft cotton rag with the Meguiars Detailer and you should have a good shine then.

I'd just use windex or chrome polish.

Eagle One A2Z wheel cleaner when washing and for detailing Mothers chrome polish on the power ball polisher. The polisher works great on my ZR1's but might be a pain on the 10 spokes.
Don't ever use any type of aluminum polish on chrome wheels. Aluminum polish is abrasive which is why chrome is NOT listed on the "uses" label. Turtle Wax Chrome Polish does wonders for chrome. It goes on easy and wipes right off after you let it dry for a minute, looks brand new.

if you have spots, use chrome polish, i like turtle wax's version
meguiars sucks IMO
but the easiest I've found is 000, or 0000 steel wool.. I'm a big fan of that. its VERY quick and wont scratch.
