Rim repair

Hey guys,
The previous owner and curbs weren't best friends, apparently. All my rims have some curb rash that I want to take care of.
This one however needs a bit more work than just sanding. What product should I use to fill it?
Also, does anyone know where to get a couple cans ferric grey?
Thanks!

Unless you are prepared to spend the time and experiment, I would have a pro do it for about $150 per wheel. A pro will do a better job and do it quicker.

'm not worried about time. Car will be in the garage until April anyways. I don't have any experience with it, but I'm the guy that tries everything myself first and if it fails get some help. I just need some input on what filler to get.

I have read tutorials where guys used regular body filler, sanded and then paint. As with body work, it's all about preparation. If you do one, I'd do them all so the paint is consistent.
