Repairing a rim is one of the things I want to do. There is a gouge in a spot on the outside edge of my rear passenger side rim. I'm not sure how it happened, because it was there when I bought the car. Anyways, can this be filled in and shaped with bondo? If so, will the bondo crack off when putting the tire back on the rim? The gouge is on the edge. I really don't want to buy a new set of rims because the other 3 are fine. I am rather artistic and have done plenty of sculpting over time, so if it is possible to fill the gouge with bondo and shape it, I am confident it will look great. Cheers, Corey Ooms 2423 There is a wheel repair center (the rim is the outer edge of the wheel) in Maryland called Whellworx. They advertise in the BMW magazines and we had a chapter get together at their facilities. They receive wheels from all over the world and restore them to as new condition.
