Get the rims clean and any black touch up stick should do fine.

If you are feeling really cheap a black permanent marker

If they are pitted you're not going to get a finish, so my choice would be sandpaper the crud off and arsole spray black.

They're OK for little chips and the like.
I got one for dings on the edge of a pickup door and it's black, looked OK on a little mark from a tankbag or something too.

wheres a good place to buy them from ?

[notbike]

I chipped my tank and used a random white touch up pen from halfords and it seems to have worked. Just don't do what I did and get even the slightest bit of dirt. Don't sand anything down until everything's dried.

Should be fine, won't ever be 100% again.
