I also didn't want to put too much effort into it if the tape peeled off after only a few days.

Where did you pick up that Metal-Mend tape? That looks like what I need for my rims..
They are steel, but have tons of holes that need covering up..



Thanks,

Yup, I think they may work for you. You have more space to work with than me, except maybe where it curves into the wheel.

I found both kinds of tape at Pep-Boys/Kragen/AutoZone kinds of stores. I was just in different parts of the store each time. The non-shiny stuff is also cheaper, like $7. It would have been my first choice if I had seen it first.
