Looks good.
How much do you want to spend and what sort of condition are they in right now?
A tube of autosol and a rag will do wonders if you are on a budget or a full powedercoat refurb if pockets are a little deeper. I would always be wary of just sticking a coat of 'alloy paint' on as its not a longterm fix.

you start with paint stripper.
then acid bath and shot blast.then wet and dry,start at 180,then 400,600,800ans finish with 1200.best done on a lathe if possible
drill out plastic bungs,and tap M8 for shiny s/steel cap heads
then,Autosol is your friend,take time,small circles,and the results are worth while
centers are from roughtrax,£6 each

done this due they weren't the best looking
removed the little plastic nuts, and painted it centers are from roughtrax too
then put a reflective strip, that you can choose color, even black, that reflects white by night
the wolf is always bigger when you are scared!!
