That looks particularly bad!! looks nasty if honest.  Try a scouring pad to atleast lift the corrosion out, then alloy wheel cleaner neat at the same time as scouring!

I used wonder wheels with a green sponge. Came up a treat. You can then try sealing them with poor boys wheel sealant or similar. Someone did mention vaseline I think.

I think PVR and X5 sport were talking about something else at that point though...............
