Professional Alloy Wheel Crack Repair
A cracked alloy wheel can cause more than an unattractive appearance.
Depending on its location and severity, a crack may allow your tire to lose air or compromise the wheel's structural condition.
Our technicians inspect cracked wheels to determine whether professional repair is appropriate.
Common Causes of Cracked Wheels
Cracks frequently result from:
Deep potholes
Hard curb impacts
Road debris
Accident damage
Repeated stress
Previous wheel damage
Severe impacts while using low-profile tires
Signs of a Cracked Wheel
Your wheel may require inspection if:
One tire repeatedly loses air
You can see a fracture in the wheel
The wheel was recently hit hard
Tire pressure drops without an obvious puncture
Vibration began after hitting a pothole
You notice damage along the inner wheel barrel
Some cracks occur on the inside of a wheel and are difficult to notice while the wheel is installed.
