At Alloy Wheels of Wisconsin, we start by inspecting the wheels for all signs of cracks. Rims will only be repaired if they meet our strict safety protocols. After removing the wheel from the car, our experienced technicians use a welding or CNC machining process to fix the damaged area. The rim can then be sanded over to provide a smooth finish.

Our wheel repair services aim to repair any structural damage before completing all cosmetic improvements.

We inspect the finished rim to ensure all signs of cracks are repaired and that the rim is safe. Finally, the wheel can be fitted and checked for balance. Alloy crack repair is a relatively quick process, but timescales may vary depending on the severity of the damage.
