Ia there a way to fix a chipped wheel face?

I've got a ZR1 rim that has a chip about the size of a dime in the face of it. It is about a dime deep also. I plan on painting the wheels anyway so I'm not worried about the finish.

Thanks, Andy

check local tire shops and see if they know anyone to fix wheels, theres a rim company in chicago fixes them for about 150 a wheel.
