on what wheels? i dont that on some vtr rims, but then they have a lip around so wouldnt of mattered

cant you get some metal filler to put in if they are quite bad, never used it though so no idea, id just go to a motor factors and get what ever body filler they have if its just a small bit

As above skim over lightly with a grinder then just use body filler and sand smooth, this is what I do anyway and works grand, only fixed one of my kerbed alloys like this last weekend :)

I've done a load of wheels recently, I used normal filler, normal process etc.

but what filler did you use?

I used body filler on mine, just plain old P38 and ahell of a lot of sanding.

I'm interested too about the folowing filler. Matey if the scuffs are on the border for example like on the following rim:

the 1 i linked is good, used it on all 5 of my wheels, didn't flake off when fitting tyres either

That would DA out in 2 mins with an 180 disc on the da, done it plenty of times ;)

When I did mine recently I had to get one of my tyres changed, I got it changed after I had filled the wheel up etc and it was fine.

but what filler did you use?

Just some I had spare from doing my boot build mate, dolphin something it's called :/ it all does the same really! :)

As for the filler around the edge of the wheel, If I get new tyres and they put that tool around the rim then wont the filler crack off?

I use filler every day at work on MDF + Wood but they are porous materials so suck the filler into the wood but I'm not sure about an Alloy.
