It sounds as if the plastic coating has worn through in places. Good wheels with no cracks and wear are getting hard to find but worth keeping an eye open for one. They can be properly refurbished, expensive, but filling the cracks and giving the wheel several coats of 2 pack, colour and clear, can brink it back to life for a few years. See YouTube for methods.
Some good lace on leather covers are available if they are to your taste.
