How to fix wheel scratch
Hi! I have the standard Mercedes 5 spoke 17" wheels and I just noticed a scratch at the edge of the rim that I would like to fix. 
It's not that big but I'd love to get it fixed. What is usually done to fix such scratches? Is that something I can do with touch up paint and if so where can I get the appropriate touch up paint to match the silver wheel color?

It is such a small area that I am nervous using a spray paint. Does it come in a version with a tiny brush where I can fill in the small area?

Okay so I looked at the wheels standing up and I can hardly tell where the scratch is so I think I'm good for now. I would still like to find a reasonable place for fixing scratched wheels in the Maryland/DC area sometime though as it might be something to do every year or so to make sure the wheels look clean and not obsess over every tiny nick and scratch.
I need to stop getting so upset over scratches I can only see when I'm only a few inches from the car...
Like someone said a while ago, if you can't see it from 5 feet away, it does not exist
