Without seeing the damage it's very hard to say how best to effect a repair.

I did repair the outer rim of one of my Mkii 16v wheels with the help of some Plastic Padding & smooth silver Hammerite, after I'd hit a rock a glancing blow mid corner - nowhere to go to avoid it :angry:. Fifteen years & 110,000 miles later it still looks OK.

If you want a more professional job doing have a look at either:
