Wheel repair question on very curbed wheels
So i just bought some curbed up rotas off a fellow member at a great price, and now id like to try and fix them up as much as possible. Two of the lips are in pretty bad shape, with deep scratches, and one of the spokes has a deep scratch as well. Does anyone know of a "bondo" type material for wheels that could fill these scratches, get sanded down, and then painted? (i really dont care if they dont turn out perfect, but id like to smooth them out as nice as possible) I'd rather not have to get them repaired professionally since i bought them only to save money.
