I would personally mask off the painted area, use some type of solvent to remove all of the clear from the lip and then have a body shop re-clear the wheel or polish the lip. Hell maybe they will pay for new wheels and then you can just fix the old ones and pocket the cash or buy new ones and sell the old ones.
