he bought the POS wheels....why couldn't you just buy what you wanted in the color you wanted? With all the money you are going to invest to clean it up, you could have bought a brand new wheel.

also if you decide to powercoat it, take it to a wheel repair shop to fix the blemishes on the lip

Yes the wheels can be painted. YOu can do anything you want to them. Painting them is also a good chance to sand out some of those scratches on the lip too. Then when you paint... you can do the entire wheel or just the spokes. Hell if you wanted to you may be able to polish them
As long as the wheel is prepped right... it will last as long as you take care of them... bottom line
Here is a set of Rotas I polished up fpr my CRX
And when you get a chance you should PM me your zip code

Let's hope you don't make them pay more than what you've got them for, which is what you tried doing in the black market a few weeks ago. Don't be a prick and try to make a profit off of these rims, because they're already in such shit condition anyway.

Why not? I mean if he got them cheap and they are worth more to someone else... what is wrong with that? Not trying to be a dick... it is just a serious question
