Start with a low grit sandpaper to even out the rash - say 400 grit, then continue to wetsand gradually with higher grit sandpaper to smooth it out.

If you have bare metal wheels then you can go up to 2000 grit wetsanding to get a good polish from them afterwards.

If they're painted then you could go up to around 1200 grit just to get it smooth before you get it resprayed.

Post a picture of how bad the damage is. Otherwise try wheeltech, they are able to fix up damaged rims for a nominal fee.
