If your rims are the style 397 (sport line cars), do note that repairing it may mean having to grind the surface of it since the 397s are polished (front of the spokes)and painted ( the inner parts between the spokes). I had to do it for my car at Wan Sing Sg Besi due to some kerbing damage some time back. Must say the grinding means that the top surface of the wheel will be skimmed...so you will lose some of the top layer,but its not so visible. Lessons learnt for me...polished wheel is more difficult to repair than painted ones..

There are only so many times you can 'repair' your wheels. It will lose its designed integrity if done too many times.
