As long as they are straight and not dinged up you can clean them up . Don't try to remove the rust and leave the paint , just strip them and get some new paint on there .
I have stacks of those from when I had ralley's , every time I dinged one I swapped it out with another

If i got them all I would do is clean them up with a flap wheel. there is another set on craigslist for $50 in alot better shape and the guy is only about 10 miles away. I wonder if i would be better off spending the $50.

I don't think you'll get all of it with a wheel. Some hand time to get down in the cracks, otherwise painting is a waste of time.
$50 might be worth it IF they are in better shape. As you can tell, lots of rust hidden under trim rings.

I Would spend as much time as i could but basicaly i dont have the ability or the money to get them sand blasted.
I did mine by hand, being broke at the time, but I have some peak-through rust now because I missed a couple of spots with the sandpaper. Or at least didn't hit them good enough.
You can get the correct color paint (Argent) at most auto parts stores in a spray can, so it's not like they can't be touched up if problem spots develop later on. Re-sand that area, and re-spray.
