I would like to know the ways that ya'll fix pitted wheels other than replacement. My 19" wheels are bad enough shape that they ruin my inner tubes, about one every year on average. I have sanded the inside of the wheel where the tire and tube contacts but the area is pitted pretty deep on at least two of the wheels. I am using a rubber flap but it doesn't cover the really bad spot. This time I applied bondo and then sanded and painted. Will that work? I know better wheels is the real answer but funds are limited at this time unless I win the lotto. Thanks for any and all advice.
