you can do pretty much what ever you choose, only advice i would give you though is if sanding, only use a wet and dry very fine grit sand paper. 

anything too aggressive will eat the wheel away in one sweep!

You can restore them, but I think you should remove the tires. I have painted the wheels few days ago with tires on them. The result is okay, but they were in a good condition before so not a lot of sanding was done
