Wheel wax question

I just picked up a set of bbs rs wheels 17x8. I was happy overall getting them but after looking at them in actual daylight I saw there was some small surface scratches around the lip. My question is will wheel wax take these scratches out? Also recommendations are appreciated
Some pics:








Just one for admiration lol

I don't think so. It looks like the paint is missing so waxing/buffing won't bring it back. Run your finger over it, if your nail gets caught.. can't buff it out.

Might need some powder coating.

Wheel wax won't take out or remove scratches.

You'll probably have to refinish and/or powder-coat or paint them.
