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

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

Some cracks occur on the inside of a wheel and are difficult to notice while the wheel is installed.

Cracked Rim Repair FAQs
Can a cracked rim be repaired?
Many cracks in the lip or inner barrel of an alloy wheel can be welded and repaired. Cracks in the spokes or wheel face usually mean the wheel should be replaced. We inspect every wheel before we quote.
Is it safe to drive on a cracked rim?
It isn't recommended. A crack can leak air and get bigger with every bump, so have it inspected as soon as you can.
How do I know if my rim is cracked?
Common signs are a tire that keeps losing air with no puncture, a vibration that started after a pothole, or a visible line on the inside of the wheel.
How long does cracked rim repair take?
Most cracked rim repairs are finished the same day.
Is repairing a cracked rim cheaper than buying a new one?
In most cases, yes, especially for OEM and aftermarket wheels that are expensive to replace.
