Well.. depending on what the rim material is made of. If it'* aluminum.. I can't help you.. if it'* steel.. it'* going to be some major elbow grease to sand the areas down ( Where the paint chips and or have rust ). Prime and Paint with automotive paint. I'm sure others have better suggestions. Try callin around your local scrap yard and tire shops.. they may have used rims for sale at a cheap price that'll fit your car.
Welcome aboard by the way. And before Willwren the decides to raise hell.. you might want to update your sig on your profile to state what year and trim of your car for us to better assist you in the future..

The aluminum wheels on my 96 SSEI had chipped and peeling clear coat and corrosion marks when I got it. I took them to a guy who refinished them on a lathe and clear coated them. This was 2 years ago and they still look great. Cost was about $80.00 each. There are probably shops in your area that can do this.
