That's what I did when had to take a lot of scratches/gouges out of an Araya rim not too long ago (after running through a storm grate):
Before:
After

This is similar to the condition I got now. There was so much rubbed off aluminum & rubber I found the scratches after the rim was cleaned!
Will get pictures on here soon so all of us can talk more sensibly.
