Question Curb Rash Repair?

I'm getting some centerlines for cheap but one has some minor curb rash. Any ideas on how to fix? I thought about having a machine shop just take a few thousandths off the entire lip, or just dab some JB weld on and sand it off smooth.

Problem is, rims are necessary but not on the top of my list, so I don't want to blow alot of $. I really need exhaust, and some trans work.

There is a alloy wheel repair company that comes to my work at mercedes benz and fixes wheels. they use like a j/b weld / bondo type stuff that they fill the wheel with then they sand it down or grind it and repaint the wheel looks real good after. maybe there is a name for this stuff and you could find it. they charge alot like $125 a wheel but they also fix some pretty exspensive wheels. hope this helps.

I think if a guy got a little wider tires like a 285 you'd be less likely to curb rash em. Even if you're 100 years old
