if you want to make em look nice and professionally done. get them sand blasted and painted.
if you just want to touch them up, depending on how bad the oxidation is. you might just be able to clean it up.
depending on your painting skills. you might just be able to give the one spot a clear coat. best bet would be to just give the whole wheel a couple of layers

well, i would definitely do the whole wheel, just so its even and looks nice. but how should i go about?
if i ever screw up, my back-up mechanic does rim refinished so i can always take it to him. but thats kinda last resort since im broke right now lol

Best bet is getting it stripped, repolish and then re clear coat. If you want to cheap out, you can wet sand the clear a bit to get the oxidation out with atleast a 2000grit and polishing it up by hand with some rim polisher. The problem with that is you'll be polishing it often to keep it from looking like doo-doo again. After polishing the rims once every other week, that shit gets reaaaaal old.

the thing is, im fucking bummed out man
today i was going to do a full resurface, like start at 200 grit and work my way up to 3000 grit then polish and carnuba wax or w.e, but i was taking all the little bolts out and one fucking snapped inside the rim. i dont know what the fuck to do anymore and im pissed cause i have no money for anyone to fix it. im just really bummed out... bad luck all week
