Default Customize my wheels!

I don't have my xA yet... hopefully any day now. I just received my new wheels that I purchased on Ebay. They are OEM Enkei's that came from an xB. I don't like the dimples, so I plan to fill them in an re-paint the wheels.

Here is what they look like now:



After I fill the dimples, this should be the end result:



So, what is the best filler to do this? I've used bondo before, so I'm somewhat familiar with plastic fillers.

you will probably have to get the wheel welded and repainted once it is filled and ground smooth. if you use bondo the chances of it sticking are slim to none. the first time you hit a hard pothole or bump the bondo will crack and seperate.

I decided that it would be best, as well as much easier, to not fill in the holes. So, after primer, 2 coats of Duplicolor Graphite Wheel Coating, and 2 coats of Duplicolor Clear, here is the final result:
