I have a few scratch marks on my white flame spoked alloys. I was wondering if there was any way of painting over them with the specific paints or filling them in? So i dont have to buy a whole set of new alloys

Depends on how bad the damage is (it would have to be really bad for you to need new alloys). You could have the wheels refurbished costing around £40 upwards for each wheel or you can buy d.i.y alloy wheel repair kits for about £20, although I don't know about repair kits for white wheels.

Professionals can completely refurbish the entire wheel making it like new for about £50 per wheel (I think - get a quote). Usually, they have to take the tyre off as well, meaning that your wheel needs rebalancing. Depends how bad the damage is, but a full refurb is like a new alloy. Post a picture! Don't ask me - I don't know how to but I should really learn - just not yet!
