Have you tried?
At a guess that's been thru the local cheap handwash and been sprayed with some strong stuff ?
It looks like the surface has been eaten away.
Give it a spray with some wheel cleaner and use at least a bucket full of elbow grease.
Then give it a wash with car shampoo, rinse, and dry it..
If it still looks the same then it's wheel off and polish it, or get it refurbished and keep it the fcuk away from the Swirl-o-matic washes.

To be honest yes I tried, I have different meg car shampoos, but because our weather is very harsh, we have dust and humidity and temp reaching 55C in summer.
Yes, I do take it time to time to local car wash, where they cover the car with foam and steam guns.
Any recommendations for wheel cleaner? I think I read cleaner for aluminum wheel is not good.

With such high summer temperatures chemicals might have dried up before being rinsed off leaving those marks.
You could try a dedicated wheel cleaner, but to be honest you might need to machine polish them or get them refurbed. Hard to tell from just a photo.
Have you got anything like poorboys Professional Polish, Dodojuice Lime Prime (lite), Autofinesse Rejuvenate or maybe a light polish like Scholl S30/40? Can try a small corner with a microfiber cloth and see what that does?
