I'd try wet sanding & polishing 1st... much like a paint finish. Use the finest # paper you can get out the scratches with, followed by polishing compound.
Best bet is to try a small area first to see what works.

Yup, what Rick said. Make sure you have several hours to dedicate to this project as it will take longer than you might think and use muscles that you never knew you had.

It would likely be easier and quicker to paint the wheel. Base coat / Clear coat is the way to go.

I'm betting if you look real close where the spokes meet the rim and where the spokes meet the hub you'll find some cracks. I haven't seen a 30+ year old wheel thats uncracked but if that's all it has after this many years you've got one of the good ones ... and there aren't too many of them.
