You will have to get them refurbed or you could always refurb them yourself mate?

I'm refurbing my SE alloys ready for the winter

Will then be able to advise you better.

Unless its a light scuff, I would say to get them refurbed by a pro as the balance of the wheel would be messed up if a lot of metal has gone.

You can balance the wheel after the DIY repair but it makes life easier if the balance is good to start with which is what a lot of pros ensure.

Its a wounder when your kerb any alloy

The good thing is that there are loads of places that can re-furb wheels these days and at reasonable prices too.
