I have a 1998 SLK 230 with what seems to be a clear plastic which fits over the spokes of the wheels but is peeling. What was it for and what is the best thing to remove is as I want to paint the wheels.

It is clear laquer, you could use paint stripper, or sand it off.
May be best to use an etch primer when you repaint, and a laquer finishing coat over the top.
if they are very scabby and corroded on the inner faces, it can be a pain to remove it.
Getting them powder coated will make them “as new” for about £200, and is very long lasting.
