I know its possible, but don't know how. It think would be easier/cheapier just to buy a new set of wheel though.

Are they just looking a little dingy? If they are powdercoated, you can shine 'em up with some plastic polish. I wouldn't bother if the powdercoat wasn't originally glossy though, because if it's flat powdercoat than polishing them will look like crap..
