How can I clean up what appears to be burn on the middle part of the rim as seen in this image ?

I would start with a rag and simple green. Slowly work up from there. You shouldn't have to go above a green scotchbrite pad. one thing that i know for sure is if that is the hub mating surface you "DO NOT" want to be removing material without a good mill.

good mill = a good milling machine.

Yodabird, is there a reason you need to clean that particular area?

@yarisugi
I want too smooth it out, make it appear a little better then scratch marks as it looks now.

those aren't scratches...they're normal marks by the cutting tool that finished that area of the rim.

@dogsridewith, not those areas; the other areas which look like splotches which are worn out.

Is that the hub side or face of the wheel? That is one shitty picture.

It's a close up of the face, specifically where on the rim I want to draw attention too.
