Don't compromise on quality when it comes to fracture repairs for your wheels!

While other repair shops may offer a cheaper price to simply weld a crack, remember that cheap doesn't always mean good. At Rolling Straight, we take a comprehensive approach to wheel repair. Not only do we expertly weld the crack, but we also ensure the wheel is properly straightened. This is crucial because, in 9 out of 10 cases, a fracture is accompanied by buckling. If the wheel isn't straightened after repair, you'll be redirecting stress to your tire, wheel bearings, steering components, suspension, and bushes. This can put your safety at risk and lead to costly problems down the road. Trust us to do the job right and ensure your wheel is restored to its optimal condition.

Cracked Mag Wheel Repairs

Mag wheels, also known as alloy wheels, are a popular choice for vehicle owners due to their sleek appearance and durability. However, they can be prone to cracking, especially when subjected to harsh road conditions, potholes, or curb damage. If left unrepaired, a cracked mag wheel can lead to further damage, safety hazards, and costly replacements

Repair Options

1. Welding: A common method for repairing small cracks in mag wheels. A skilled technician uses a specialized welding process to fuse the crack, restoring the wheel's structural integrity.

2. Re-machining: For larger cracks or damaged wheel lips, re-machining involves removing the damaged area and re-cutting the wheel to its original specifications.

3. Re-finishing: After repairs, the wheel is re-finished to match its original appearance, including paint or polishing.

4. Replacement: In severe cases, a cracked mag wheel may need to be replaced entirely to ensure safety and prevent further damage.

Important Notes

- Not all cracked mag wheels can be repaired, severity and location of the crack will determine repair feasibility.

- Repairs should only be performed by a qualified and experienced mag wheel specialist, as improper repairs can lead to:

- Weak and unstable wheel structure

- Increased risk of further damage or wheel failure

- Compromised safety on the road

- If not repaired by a mag wheel specialist, the repair may not be strong or durable, potentially leading to more severe consequences.

- Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent cracks from occurring or worsening.
