Help with Rims

Hi, this is my first post. I went to the salvage yard today, and picked up some aluminum escort gt rims and some tires all for about 300 dallors, they were covered in dirt and i thought that was just dirt. Well, we got home washed em off. The tires looked fine but the rims had like... a crappy rusty like, the top layer of alum was eatting threw or something, i tried everything i could to try to get rid of it, washed em alot, and its really deep. I was wondering if someone had any suggestions and if i had to sand, or something like that could you please explain it to me.

Thank you

how can you tell if the clear coat is still there? my rims were in rough shape since i bought the car. not horrible, just a few spots on each rim gettin kinda eaten away looking. it´s still all aluminum colored, not rust or anything
wow! are they really mirror-like?? they do seem to reflect like that.
oh, and what´s that big paper towel roll in the back for? ;-) ;-)
lol j/k...what kinda sub is that?
