Over the years, car manufacturers have taken a cue from the popularity of specialized alloy wheels and have opted to install modified alloy wheels for their stock cars.

These damages will not only make the alloy wheel look ugly but it can also greatly affect the car's driving performance.

Lateral runout is damage that affects the balance of the tire across its width. Lateral run out is often left undiagnosed as the tire can look true but balance testing will prove otherwise. In the case of lateral run out if there is significant damage it will often be irreparable. Cracks, depending on the location can be repaired but in certain extreme cases it is safer to get a replacement alloy wheel than to use one that has undergone alloy wheel repair.

Repair for non-forged wheels Alloy wheel repair is often recommended for wheels that are non-forged. Forged alloy wheels are tougher and can also be more expensive. Most of the time, forged alloy wheel repair merely consists of having the wheel refinished. Two-piece and three-piece alloy wheels are also more prone to damage as the outer lips of the wheel are commonly made of softer alloy materials.

Alloy wheel repair- the right timing The best time to plan for alloy wheel repair is during the warmer months. Normally, alloy wheel repair can take anywhere from three to five hours depending on the extent of the damage. If you want to minimize the damage, use high pressure especially when you are using low profile tires. However, it is important to make sure that the wear of the tire is still even.
