Factory Steel wheels

Hi folks. Another question for you. I have factory steel wheels on my 89 CRX DX. They have some rusty areas on them. Is there a home remedy of some sort that I could use to clean them up and get them looking good again? If not, what options do I have? I don't want to buy any aftermarket wheels and tires. I'd rather keep the boring looking stock ones.

Sand paper. Primer. Paint.

I just got a 15" steel wheel for my dad's Honda(full size spare) for $15.00 from a junkyard compared to $77.00 my cost from Honda.

Re: Factory Steel wheels

Thanks for the info guys. I was hoping there was an easier way than sanding, repainting and even replacing the the wheels. Guess I was hoping for some magical easy snake oil fix. Any other ideas out there?
