Yup. Definitely scratches. If you used steel wool to clean your rims... well, lesson learned.
Scratches can be in an outer clearcoat, or in the metal itself. I'm guessing you would need different products, depending on what exactly is scratched. If it's in the clearcoat, you could try using something slightly abrasive like a swirl remover or more abrasive like a rubbing compound, but that's just a guess. Any time you're using abrasive products, your best bet is to try the mildest and least abrasive first, and use progressively more abrasive products until the problem is gone, then go back through from roughest to finest.

PS. Your "CAPS LOCK" is on, you might want to turn it off.
