Let’s Break It Down

Wheel Worries?

Q1. Is it safe to weld a cracked alloy wheel?

Yes, when done correctly by skilled professionals using TIG welding, wheel welding is a safe and effective way to repair cracks. However, if the damage is too severe, we may recommend a replacement instead.

Q2. What type of cracks can be welded?

We can repair hairline cracks, minor fractures, and rim splits, but large structural cracks, multiple fractures, or deep damage may compromise the wheel’s integrity. A thorough inspection will determine if welding is suitable.

Q3. How long does wheel welding take?

The process typically takes 24 to 48 hours, depending on the severity of the damage and whether refinishing is required.

Q4. Will my wheel be as strong as before after welding?

Yes, our precision TIG welding process restores the wheel’s structural integrity. In some cases, reinforcement techniques are applied to ensure long-term durability.

Q5. Will the welded area be visible?

No, after welding, we refinish and smooth the repaired area so it blends seamlessly with the rest of the wheel.

Q6. Can a welded wheel crack again?

While the welding process is durable, the wheel should be handled with care. Avoid hitting potholes, curbs, or rough road conditions that could cause stress in the same area.

Q7. Is wheel welding legal?

Yes, professional welding repairs are legal, provided the wheel maintains its structural integrity and passes safety checks.

Q8. How do I know if my wheel needs straightening?

Signs of a bent wheel include:

  • Vibration or wobbling at certain speeds.
  • Uneven tyre wear or frequent tyre pressure loss.
  • A visible bend on the rim’s edge.

Q9. Is wheel straightening safe?

Yes, when done by experts using hydraulic pressure and heat treatment, the process restores the wheel’s shape without weakening the structure.

Q10. What causes a bent wheel?

Common causes include potholes, curb impacts, road debris, and general wear.

Q11. How long does wheel straightening take?

The process takes 1 to 2 days, depending on the severity of the bend and whether additional repairs (like refinishing) are required.

Q12. Can all bent wheels be repaired?

We can fix most minor to moderate bends, but severely damaged or cracked wheels may require additional welding or replacement.

Q13. Will straightening affect my wheel’s balance?

No, after straightening, we precision-balance the wheel to ensure smooth performance and safety.

Q14. Is it cheaper to straighten a wheel or buy a new one?

Wheel straightening is significantly cheaper than buying a new wheel and offers a cost-effective solution to restore your wheels.
