you may be confident the pits are not pores but if the rims are not solid billet(which factory rims are not) then the pits are most likely pores. the wheel is a poured casting that is then machined. the pouring process is not perfect and 99.8%of all castings have these pores/pits in them. (my dad used to work at a aluminum foundry making wheels) as for the polishing out if you get a lot of them it may be easier/ better to powder coat or chrome.
