raelayotte, sss620,

I'm not one to get involved in to course a grit sanding media if I can help it. I try to match the surface that is to be polished with the sanding media grit I use. I just polished some 55 year old windshield frames that were stained from whatever. I had to use some 120 grit to get the stains out, but the polish came out nice. Try starting with the finest grit media that will present a finish that you will be able to get the desired polish.
For the rims I'd try some 220 or 320 grit greaseless, or flap wheels, and then use some Emory on a 4" sewn buff and see what that does!

There's no need to get into more work than you need to, to establish the polish that you desire.

John
