    What kind of stain?

    Are the wheels painted or powder coated?

    Have you tried a light polishing compound?

    In the minimum, some of the wheels would improve with some buffing but you will need power buffer.

    If you know some auto-detailers, you can ask for tips how they would do it.

    In your picture, its a mix of alloy wheels and what seems to be powder coated wheels.

    BTW, if the powder coated wheels are scuffed or damaged, you will probably need to have them powder coated again to restore it to a "new" look.
