Can you fill in a dent -on a wheel- with bondo?

I plan on rough sanding it, perhaps sandblast, bondo, seal, prime and paint over it.

Do you think the centrifugal force will ruin it right away?

That's quite a gash. I'd recommend getting a new wheel.

Bondo will not work.

Agreed, right at the root of a spoke is not a place that you want damage like that.

What good are 3 wheels? I would never drive that one wheel on the road...ever.

A wheel is not something you want possibly breaking.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they wouldn't get even $300 if they were refurbished. Those rims are garbage.
