wet n dry... use coarse grade for starters to get all the marks out and then a couple of finer grades to finish smooth  :daumenhoch:

I found mde grit wet and dry worked well, but left them dull...a  little car wax that is slightly abrasive bought them back to the correct shine though

apparently if you put them in the freezer, it will straighten them, clean off the brake rub marks, regrease the hubs, find your car keys, walk the dog, and put the "ram" in the rammer dammer ding dong
