I scratched my steel wheels with a Scotch Brite pad and I’m so disappointed in myself. This bike is my baby. Is there any way I can remove the scratches? Thank you!!

Simichrome Polish might do the trick. You could also use it to clean up those spokes.
You wanna go from rough to fine. Get fine steel wool and scrub it again, then use Aluminium foil to „scrub“ again. Then use a polish (Neverdull for example) with a microfibre cloth.
I would head over to one of the detailing subreddits, those for are experts in removing scratches from anything on a car, incl chrome/polished metal/aluminium
You can get a metal polishing rouge from Harbor Freight and polish with a rag. They have different compounds for different metals like aluminum and stainless steel
Get a pack of ultrafine sandpaper of amazon ( 2000 grit and up )
Try toothpaste on a cloth rag, slightly moist.
