In the meantime, I expect that a local shop could refinish and make your rims look brand new for not very much money at all.

+1, it's most advisable to find a local wheel repair specialist that will match the finish currently on there. Consider the years of road debris and sunlight that has gone up against the OEM finish. A quick yelp search for "wheel repair" sometimes works, otherwise you can try calling your dealership service center and ask if they know of anyone - dealerships may curb rash wheels and will contact repair specialists to fix to new condition.
