Now you are tempting fate again Phil!

I've not used it before, but if it is like any of the others it will do the job you ask of it. You just have to be very careful when repairing any wheel. The best things for a good repair are a steady hand, a good eye and an exact match for the alloy paint. The filler can be just about anything if you know what you are doing - from epoxy resin to plain car filler to liquid metal.
