Alloy Wheel Straightening

Alloy wheel straightening is one important aspect of the alloy wheel repair and refurbishment process. It is done to remove the wobble from a damaged wheel that has a lateral bend or flat spots, and to make sure that it tends a perfect circle once again.

It is no mystery to anyone experienced with wheels that it is easier to straighten a steel wheel, since it is stronger and hardier. Alloy wheels, on the other hand, are more brittle and delicate, and attempting a serious amount of straightening can be a very dangerous process. The problem is, if the alloy wheel were fractured during the impact that caused the bend in the spokes or dent on the rim, it may not be able to handle the bending pressures during the straightening process, and could crack. A cracked wheel must not be used on the road, due to the major risk of accident.

At Wicked Wheels, we are known for maintaining the highest standards of safety, reliability and quality in our services. While we do repair and restore all kinds of damage to alloy wheels, your safety is paramount to us. Bearing this in mind, we do not perform alloy wheel straightening and neither do we recommend it. Your alloy wheel is a delicate accessory, and if it has a bend or a wobble, we strongly suggest that you invest in a new one. After all, short term savings are not worth the risk associated with a dangerous repair process that has no guarantees.
