You try rubbing them out with a rag and some cleaner??
Once they are clean, get some polish / wax on them.

ok lastnight i went home and used the wheel cleaner to clean my rims, the good news is the spots came off, the bad news it sure turned my rotors an ugly color, luckily that came off when i drove the car and used the brakes.
Next I polished the rims. It was alot harder to do than I had anticipated, but the results came out great. Here is a picture a rim with the polish...

You need to paint those calipers boy!!! haha Looking good! I like those rims. I know the spots you're talking about too. The Pace Car has aluminum or chrome rims? I believe and they're dull as hell. I don't know if they're supposed to be like that or if it's becasue no one took care of them over the years.. Hrmph oh well. glad to hear you got the spots of. Make sure you polish them every so often so they're protected. Use some Zaino on those bad boys :)
