Send them out to a person that does that. it's stainless steel. It's expensive, and very tedious, and takes buffers ect.

I cannot attest to the restoration process of anodized aluminum but after watching these videos, found that stainless is pretty easy and very rewarding to restore at home. Check it out, This is the first video...

The bezels are aluminum, so they'd need to be stripped, straightened and re-anodized. There used to be at least a couple places in MI that did it. All Trim Plus and Tuff Wheel Resto are two that come to mind. Man, I remember when NOS bezels were $30/ea in the YO catalog. Damn, I'm old.
