you wont be able to use filler on the chrome unfortunately, that would be more intense than a diy job would be

good write up there man i do alot of wheel refurbs for lads and theres alot of work in them most people dont realise another good way to get curbs out is to throw the wheel on a car and have it up on axel stands and throw it into 1st and let it spin then just start filing and wet sanding down through the grades works great and the lip stays nice and even, doin a set of 3piece works vs off my mates 180 the dishes are all polished just have to paint the centres, there after turing out hell of a lot nicer than a set off 3 piece ones i sent to the wheel doctor last year but then again put in a lot of hours ill throw some pics up when there finished
