Ok, so the polished aluminum on my wheels is pitting pretty bad. No room in the budget for new wheels so I need opinions on what to do with them.

1. Sand and attempt to repolish. Tried this on a spare wheel that was rashed up and got it to a decent spot but not loving the outcome.
2. Paint match the dish (white). cheap photoshop below...I like the idea of this just not sure I will like it for very long if I were to do it.
3. Leave them alone and look at how ugly they are everyday.

Thanks for feedback guys. I'm leaning towards the white, but once I do it I will need to level or drop real bad.

Next warm day off I think I will give them a go.
