Unless they are really heinous, I wouldn't try it. Unless you were really (really) good with a TIG on aluminum, I wouldn't touch them.
I think it would be easy to do more harm than good.. I would also guess that the "alumarod" is a different alloy from the wheel, and may well end up a different color. Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bruce Giller Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2011 1:55 PM To: Alfa Digest Subject: [alfa] BWA wheel repair My BWA wheels have some shallow 'divots' on them that mar their appearance. They were put on by the rubber side of a floor mat when I stored the tires in a stack and put the floor mat on top - to protect them from harm! I guess that the rubber reacted with the paint-or-metal over the winter storage. I know that the BWAs are not steel but an alloy of some sort so I can not fill-weld the divots with my MIG welder. But I do have some alumarods ( http://durafix.com/) which would do the job. But I'm wondering if anyone else on the list has tried using alumarods on these wheels.
