The area between the mesh is rough cast on my wheels. Using a Dremel I was able to clean them a bit.
You just want to be careful you don't catch any edges, so taping the face is best , I think.

Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

First clean wheels well in between spokes and paint black or whatever color you want.Using an orbital, sand just the top areas 400 grit to 800 grit, to polishing pad with fine then finer bar compound. Oooooh, Shiiiiiiiiney!
