You didn't say if it was a polished aluminum or painted wheel. How deep and big is the scratch??.. If it is not real deep, you could sand it with fine paper, then buff it with 0000 fine steel wool, then use a fine rubbing compound, I have some extra fine Blue Coral that I have used on things. The wheel I am betting, is coated with a clear coat so you would need to spray the area where you work with some clear when finished to prevent corrosion. I am not an expert but I have restored aluminum forks on motorcycles with this process. Mojave
