Default How to fix curbage?

I curbed my rims pretty bad when I hit a curb, and I want to get em fixed up. I'm told its probably not a good idea to weld them becuase they are aluminum and could do some crazy ****. Its along the lip, and is deep. I'm not sure what to do to fix 'em. I was thinking maybe build it up with epoxy and sand it down, but I dont know how well that'd stick. I also thought maybe JB weld, but i dont know much about that really so not sure. Anyone got any ideas?

Here is a pic of the rim pre-curbage:

a friend of mine had some balck racing phantoms and somehow he curbed it and a big section of the lip broke off. he TIG welded a fat strip and somehow reshaped it to match. i couldnt tell it was redone afterwards. just gotta go to a good welder.
