Default How to remove some rust off used wheels

Well I'm going to buy some used wheels for cheap but the owner said there are some small rust spots on it. It's a pretty old wheel set but it's cheap. How can I take that off or clean it up.

Could I just sand it off and polish the wheels since it is in polish finish anyways.

Use a really fine (2000 or 3000) grit sandpaper and some Meguiar's aluminum polish to buff out the marks left the the sandpaper

Sand blast it away.

Edit: I just noticed someone wrote up a DIY on removing rust of steelies.
