Hi. I am planning to follow this DIY: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3156862 to refinish my stock 16" sport wheels. I have bought almost everything needed, except one thing. The metal filler. I can't find it anywhere! The posting said that he bought it at Autozone, yet I can't find it in Autozone! Do you guys know of a place I can get the stuff or anything else that will work? Thanks

Hello. So I carried through with painting my wheels. Used JB Intdustrial Weld to fill in imperfections. I think they came out good, or at least better than what they were before. Here's a pic:

Here's a little close up of the wheel that 'was' the most damaged. JB weld and a mouse sander did the trick. After that I ghetto'ed it out and knife edged the lips till they were round with more sanding to finish them off [8D]:
Very nice repair job - I have two mouse sanders and love them. Those and my Dremels are my favorite tools (besides air tools anyhow lol). Nice work

Thanks for the compliments. This was my first 'bigger' project (on my first car) and I am quite pleased with the results. And I also got to love that I only paid $18 bucks for all the materials due to some hook ups
Metal Filler??
