well i meant a pic of your rim that needs work...if, by scratches, you mean curb rash then i dont think you can do it on a machined lip...i can find out for sure tomorrow though. but for non-machined lips, you can bondo it, sand it down, and repaint and that works but i dont think you can do that with machined lips since they aren't painted

i'll let you know tomorrow
