• Suspension wear from shakiness and vibrations
• Flats from the tire not holding air
• Cracks in the wheel

Can You Straighten My Bent Rim?

• Repair capabilities depend on the type of wheel you have and the extent of the damage.
• Wheel Type: Some wheels are more serviceable than others. Bent steel wheels can often be repaired while an alloy wheel may require replacement.
• Damage Extent: A bend in your rim from a pothole or other minor impact is serviceable. Extensive damage may require replacement. We inspect all wheels to determine their eligibility for a rim repair. In the event your wheel is unsafe to service, we offer a wide selection of replacement wheels.

Rim straightening should always be performed by an experienced technician. Our wheel repair technicians have years of combined experience in rim straightening and use specialized equipment to return your wheel to a round shape. Most wheels are serviceable. If you aren't sure about the state of your factory or custom wheel, call (252) 977-7880 to talk with a knowledgeable member of our team. Remember that driving on a damaged wheel is dangerous and can cause problems to other parts of your car.
