The
process of aluminum alloy wheel repair includes cleaning, checking the
rim for balance and straightness, and restoring the wheel to factory
finish.
Cosmetic TIG welding and straightening is included in all wheel restorations!
All work is guaranteed for as long as the customer owns the vehicle.
As
the popularity of stylish aluminum alloy wheels has grown in popularity,
so has the cost of replacement. Typically, replacement cost of the original
equipment alloy wheel runs $300 upwards to $1000. Nu Wheel can repair
and refinish most damaged wheels for a fraction of the cost.
Frequently encountered damage may include surface abrasions, corrosion and a damaged tire retaining lip (such as scrapes, a bent lip, and a cracked or broken off piece of the rim lip.)
Once thought to be non-repairable, cast aluminum and related alloy wheels are repairable, but only if done by a knowledgeable technician with the proper equipment for straightening, welding and refinishing.
Damaged
wheels must be replaced if there are fractures of obvious deformation in
the center hub or support structure of the wheel. Pay particular attention
to deep scratches, since they may actually be fractures which could lead
to wheel failure. Contact Nu Wheel to see if your
wheel is repairable.
