Hi
I am looking to repair my alloys as they have minor curbing on them. I have had a look at the DIY alloy repair kits but not sure to what extent they can fix. My one alloy has a fairly big dented scratch in it and just wanna know if any DIY alloy repair kits will repair them?
I have looked on ebay for kits and there are the "Get smart" repair kits, and have also seen one at halfords, but member of there staff told me it wont repair them that much, there kit is more of a respray. Can anyone confirm or suggest a kit I can get.
I do not want to spend too much as the alloys only cost me £100, and so for me to pay £50 refurbishment per wheel will be pointless.
Thanks for any help or advice.
(I have attached pictures of my alloys showing the worst of the damage on them)

Is that bad one cracked all the way through to the back? The scratched etc on would be a cheap repair ie £35 odd. The other one looks like it will require some work, dont know how much that would cost. I'd guess youd need to get an estimate.

No it is just surface, none of the scratches has gone through. And I have asked about and looks like it will be about £60 per wheel. Thats why I thought would be a lot cheaper if I could do it with the DIY kits. Just not sure if they are enough to fill such a gap.
Thanks

With that much of a chunk, you'd need to make sure that the filler is a dense as the alloy as with it spinning at high speed any difference in weight could make a big difference. Even with wheel balancing.

I guess with the one thats just kerbed you could do a diy on that one, but you'd be best getting that really badly damage one first as it could affect your car as its bound to be well out of balance now.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Do you know if there is anywhere I can buy a filler with the same density as the alloy's? And I doubt it would effect the wheel too much, as the scratch is only about 2 to 3 mm deep, but then again I dont know much about alloys so not sure if that can effect the wheel. So far though I have had no problem with it, and have driven more than 1000 miles on it. Just wanted to repair so they can look new again.
Thanks again.

No idea, perhaps it just looks worse in the pics than it actually is.

Yeah I can see what you mean by it looks worse on the picture. Looking at the top left picture, the biggest damage area (1st on left) is not actually a dent, it is minor scratching on the alloy, but i have just realised it looks like a deep cut. Then going clockwise. The middle scratch is actually the worst one, being about 2 to 3 mm deep but not going through, and then the far right one being just another scratch going prob about a mm or so into the alloy itself.
If this is not possible to do with a DIY, can anyone please suggest a good and cheap place to get it repaired around the Portsmouth area.
Thanks
