Get them blasted and powder coated.

Remove tyres, shotblast, paint and refit.

Think I was told about £15 a wheel to blast it.

Wish I'd thought of that before I had 4 new tyres fitted

A local company charge £50 per ALLOY wheel from dropping off to finished product.
Instead of lacquer, steel wheels could be painted/coated.

Yes that was for a bare steel wheel, they did offer a menu of options. I remembered it was more if powder coat and more again if 2 colour

I looked into this and managed to get new steel wheels for less than £50 a pop.

I would go for paint rather than powder coating on steel wheels
Or you go for the bigger wheel trims

Cheep set of full size wheel trims worked on my Renault.

Didn't know I could get full size wheel trims for this wheel type. Must look into it.
