Your what about it? but if its something like gutter rash it can be fixed. Depending how bad it is. Its about $50 a rim. Ask your local tire shop.

What colours are ur rims? If your like typical melbourne or australia you have white powder coated rims LOL. If so just do what i do. Get liquid paper and go over it :D or even go to a hobbie store get those tinnny tinny tin of white paint. Part from that go to ur local tire or rim store. If its not too deep should cost u even less then 50 bucks. Here in melb neways.

would the rim still be fixable if the area behind the bolt has been smacked out a bit? Or can the scratches around the rim only be fixed? :(

as fas as i know it depends on the condition of the rimss, if they're crackedd, its a bit impossible to fix it, the tyres will keep losing air, went to donnelan to fix a cracked and scratched rim, they said it was impossible to repair no point of trying, so i based my opinion on this

simple:
surface scratches can be polished out in some form or another
whereas anything much deeper may have to be filled or ground out
