I'm not sure if the techniques for fixing wheels differ, but when I my wheel fixed on my pcar, they basically scrape the metal down (for lack of a better description) and then polish it to match the others. In my case, they recommended doing both on the same side so it would match better. The problem I ran into is that with my fix, the wheel no longer had the clearcoat (I'm pretty sure it's something else other than clear-once again for lack of a better word) and the polish kept getting stained and marks would form on the metal. Like I said, maybe they have a different method, but for me and $120 wheel, that's what they did.
