Fixing wheel 'curb rash'

[Bluefoxtim]

I was driving along some country roads earlier and a big industrial vehicle was coming the other away. I moved closer to the edge of the road but I wasn't paying enough attention and didn't notice that the grass verge had changed to a muddy curb! My wheel hit the curb with a fair old whack and I've got some damage on the edge of the rim.

Any easy ways to patch it up or at least protect it from rusting?

hammerite paint ( helps keep rust out)

You can get touch up kits, Halfords will have them.

Alternatively you can get it professionally refurbished but it costs quite a bit, depends if the car/wheels are worth it really.

Similar thing happened to me. The rim had a fair sized crack. When it had it's MOT the guy said it wasn't safe as a bit of it could have flown off at speed, so he had to rip about half of the rim of completely

your rim had a fair sized crack

Edit; to Bluefoxtim

Can't you use the spare wheel in place of the damaged one ? or have i misunderstood ?

Repair and Powdercoat?

Probably abit pricey for what you want though.

Think you can get it done about £80 a wheel, maybe cheaper.

I need mine doing, I bought my car with wheels that need repairing with the intention of getting them powdercoated, I was going to get them done this summer so it was decent weather and i'd get no weather damage on the fresh repair wheels but seeing as we didn't have a summer this year I never got round to it.
