    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    That looks like a gouge not a scratch. You might be able to hide some of it but fixing it correctly would probably cost as much as a new wheel. :notsure:

    Bondo and a rattle can of paint would be a good start.

    This would my recommendation. Either go full-on cheap or just get a new wheel. Anything in between would be a waste of money.
