Last night I managed to gouge a chunk out of my wheel on a bluestone gutter in the city - pulled in a little close to the apex of a turn... yeah I know I cant drive!

I read a few threads on using body filler a while ago and in a flash of brilliance decided to fill the holes in my rim. Confused

I figured before I source matching paint ($$) that I should see if the wheel can be rebalanced or is a write off. Hopefully its not too badly out of shape.

So, how long do people reckon that will hold up? I dont think they designed bog for use on wheels...
