OK, so I found 4 Rims on Kijiji and drove 6 hours not including stops, pee breaks and fast food drive thru orders to get them, they're the style I wanted and I didn't mind driving to get these for $150 after I beat him down from $250 and so the mission begins... How to fix these gouges . check it out

Is that supposed to fill the gouges? Will it blend in with the aluminum?

I used a wire wheel and 320 sandpaper to start cleaning them up.

I sanded the gouges on this other rim and it helped a little but not a dramatic change, just shinier...

Looks good! How deep did you have to grind to get the deep dents in the first pic out?

[maddmark1981]

Quite a bit... They were quite noticeable even after hours of work so I kept bringing, sanding. Buffing, sanding... What a job
