my first question would be:

what the hell were you thinking in the first place!? brillo pad!? that's metal sandpaper! what did you think was going to happen?

Please tell me you're kidding *shakes his head in disbelief*

You can try a scratch remover, like Scratch-X, but don't expect miracles. If you have scratched thru the clear coat then the only thing you can do is repaint the wheels.
