look smart dude, mine are gunna need quite alot of sanding on the lip they're pretty chinned, i will give it a bash and see what happens, if needs be i will get the tires taken off. Any ideas on the balancing weights?

If you mean not having weights on the outside just get them balanced using stick on.

If the rims and fairly bad your best to get the tryes off and get them rebalanced with sticky weights (on the inside)

use a wheel filler, they sell it in halfords somin like this but they sell the filler on its own in the shop and its alot cheaper, also depends how big the missing chunk is.
