Jim,
You might consider taking them to a truck wash place and have them acidized. It may not be a good idea if you plan to polish them because it does leave the aluminum kind of frosty looking and it is a pretty good chore to buff it out again. But, if you are painting that might be fine.
I haven't trucked since 1988, but at that time it was usually an extra $10, added to the cost of the wash, to have all the aluminum on a semi trailer acidized.
I only tried one over the counter wheel acid and it was too weak to do anything. The stuff at the truck washes is strong. It is only left on for about 10 seconds. I think it is hydrochloric acid, but I'm not sure.
