is it just dirt or like oxidized crud/brake dust?
Not to sound dumb but did you try a good brand wheel cleaner?

LOL i was gonna say, have you tried soap??

if you mean the white, milky stuff, it looks like failing clear coat. usually happens from using too harsh a cleaner, cleaner on a hot wheel, letting cleaner sit too long. that or it could just be from normal wear and the clear is just failing

you need a good metal polish for it. I used flitz and also stuff called X-treem metal polish.

nope just use the X-treem stuff and it will polish out. I would have to do that to some polished wheels after a winter worth of driving.

Man I would suck it up, and send them out to be professionally refinished and possibly chrome dipped or painted or even cleared so this dont happen again

Pay for the best and cry once!
