Help me save these classic Ronals!

I just acquired a set of Ronal R-9 wheels that I intend to put on my '81 300TD. Two are 16x8 and two are 16x7. They are all a bit rough. The black centers aren't bad, but the rims on all four need work. The photo below shows one of the worst ones after quick cleaning with a Scotchbrite pad and wheel cleaner. As you can see, there is lots of pitting and corrosion on the rim. What's the best way to remove this stuff? Steel wool? A special polish? Can I even do this myself? I'm not looking for a mirror finish, just that classic bare aluminum shine.

Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance!
