I found this site http://www.wheelcollision.com/merc8.htm

So basically my rims are the stock rims that come on the 2001/2 SL500's?

Another question, if a rim is kinda scratched up as in deep scratches and scrapes. Is there any way to get rid of em'?

Deep scratches are not easy to get rid of - The only good way to make your wheels look like new would be to get them refinished. Typically costs about 60-100 per wheel.

Hmm, thanks. I imagine a tire shop would do that?

Hmm... Palm Springs - Not to sure around that Area but off the 60FWY and 57 FWY where they join there is a shop I always go to when I need work done on my car besides maintanance. The Wheel Supply, I'm pretty sure youve heard Me and some others talk about that shop a lot. They're the people who refinished my Hammer's

It usually takes up to 3-5 Business days depending on how busy the shop is.

Or you can try an auto paint shop w/in your area. Wheel reapir/repainting is basically the same process with repainting a car, unless it's chipped/dented.
