01' CLK 320
Scratched Wheel
I found out today there are some scratches on the two front wheels (stock 16") on my CLK (W208) and the scratches are about 1-1.5" long and 0.5" wide. Any suggestions on how to remove the scratches or is there any touch-up paint to cover them up? Thanks!

if the scratch is light, its probably just the clear coat...
if the scratch is deep into the metal, than its more of a problem...
either case, you can take it to a wheel repair shop, and they can fix it for you pretty easy... the cost to do that can range anywhere from $35 to $150 a wheel depending on wher you take it to.
If the scratch isn't really bothering you, i say, just leave it alone... chances are, no one will see it...

Pat,
What year/wheels are on your CLK? If it is a 98-99 then look for updated wheels, or you can buy a replacement set for cheap. Other wise, you are stuck, the 98-99 wheels scratch easily and permanently, unfortuneately..... but there are a lot for sale!!
