Took them to tyre place to get tyres taken off, stopped at halfords and bought 5 different grades of sand paper + metal polish - started sanding away

ok its just i've got some scratches in my driver side wheels (had an argument with the kerb) and it kinda spoils the look of the car when its clean, but they definitely need filling which causes the problems of a respray needed for the whole wheel,
oh fuck it i'll get it done proffessionally

Aluminium solder is what you use but ive never worked with it and my blowtorch skills are shit

Im only giving this a go because I dont really need them and dont mind if I mess it up.
