Has anyone had experience with an alloy wheel repair kit? Need to touch up my wheels

I've bought used BMW wheels before and had curb rash repaired and the wheels powder coated.
When I got them back you couldn't tell they weren't brand new.
I have a set of used 996 17" wheels that I plan or repairing some(a lot actually) curb rash and repainting myself.

I've been putting it off because I need to get the ancient tires removed and would like to do that before refinishing them.

When you say "repair" I gather you're referring to refinishing, not fixing a bent wheel.

I’ve used aluminum-filled body filler to good effect, see
Amazon Amazon
. When sanded down with fine grit, looks like aluminum, paint optional.
