Yes, why didn't you ask yesterday? If they are truly scratches, can be polished out if not too deep. Chrome is very hard and you might have to get rough with it. I always start with the finest grit necessary to remove the scratch. Then work to finer grit.
Be aware that you may not be able to completely remove all of the scratches but, you can make the chrome look really nice. Am I making any sense? It's freakin' early :yesnod:

I'll "SEA" you at the show and maybe you can look at it and see what you think.....thanks Ken....

This is just a thought, but have you given any thought to filling in the scratches with a sealant, instead of trying to polish them out? This would also offer your wheels a barrier of protection as well.
