Default Cleaning up scruffy alloys

I've got some stock alloy wheels off my EB fairmont that have seen better days.

Would sanding them back with some wet and dry and a fresh coat of lacquer work?

I also saw that cut and polish and a fresh coat of lacquer also works.

I'm currenly doing some restoration work on the tubroblades that came with my EB
i used regular paint stripper to get the lacquer off(working on the spare at the moment), and they immediately looked 100% better. after that i started the long polishing process, which is taking a long time because i've been busy helpin on the mrs's old man's farm while he in hospital, but the wheel is coming up a treat! i'll post photos when its done...then i can start on the others!
