Assuming they're black and you want them "silver" again:
Take wheels/tires off car.
Wash 'em with dish soap/water.
Wipe down with brake cleaner or other nasty stuff to get wax/grease off.
Scuff with scouring pad.
Repeat wash & wipe.
Mask with index cards.
Paint with wheel paint (I got mine at the local Advance Auto)
