Hey guys im looking for all of your inputs on products that i could or should use to help fix these rims. they were driven in the snow after the salt hit the ground plus some regular dirt from sitting around. What would guys recommend, im new to the site and im trying to find some other threads that maybe has what im looking for so if you know of one just let me know about it.

For general repair of the rash go here...

Repairing Painted Wheel Curb Scratches - Autopia.org

You could also use a product called Devcon; there may be more than one, but it's an aluminum paste/putty that you can apply/shape/sand/drill etc. Real easy to work with.

As far as saving these wheels; I'd probably just clean them super well and have them powdercoated silver locally.

Otherwise you're going to have a ton of time in them trying to get them to look 'right' and money invested in the products it took to get them there unless you just sand the shiat out of those lips; clear them; tape them off then paint the centers with an argent silver.
