Restoring Stock Wheels?

Hey all, I recently purchased used oem style 230 wheels. In a few spots the clear coat is peeling and paint is chipped from years or use. Does anyone know of some good DIYs or where to find information on restoring stock wheels? I'd like to try it myself, I enjoy trying new things like this.

I'd recommend Google search. There are tons of videos on this topic and I'd suggest you watch as many as necessary to determine next steps.

There's a big variety beginning with quick & dirty, with tires still mounted, all the way up to "back-to-Factory" approaches. Only you know what's right for you.

YouTube. I've refinished 2 sets of wheels already.
