Sorry, you cant buff that out. The best is to chemical dip the rims to kill the corrosion. Salt loves all metal but especially aluminum and chrome...add lead (weights) and there is nothing you can do to the pitting. Nice set of winter rims though!

That's about what mine looked like. Once the clear coat is gone, nothing you can do.
