Cost-Efficient Rim Repair As An Alternative to Expansive Rim Replacement

Cost-Efficient Rim Repair As An Alternative to Expansive Rim Replacement

Did you hit a pothole and bent a rim on your car as a result? Get it fixed! Don't replace it.

Everyone hits potholes. You can't avoid it. But if you hit one with enough force, the tire may be ruined or even worse, your rim may be bent. As a result you may feel vibrations in your steering wheel while driving (especially at faster speeds), your wheel may not be holding air well and your tire will wear out much faster.

Replacing the tire is one thing; there are tire stores everywhere. It's a different story when if comes to rims. When you go back to the dealer to buy a rim to match the ones on your car, you may be surprised by the high cost. Fortunately, rim repair and wheel straightening is a cost-efficient alternative available to car owners.

The average aluminum alloy rim costs $400+ regardless of the make and model of the vehicle. For example, a Nissan Altima with 17" alloy rims can cost over $500 per rim. Most people assume this cost will only apply to higher end luxury automobiles, but this is not the case.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to replacing bent rims. Rims that are hopelessly bent can actually be returned to a "like-new" condition for a fraction of the cost. Wheel-Tech uses specialized machinery to straighten the rims so that they run true and it reconditions them to look new with their refinishing techniques. Wheel-Tech will also dismount, mount and balance your wheels to make them run extra smooth! Most wheels are returned within 24 hours and in some cases even the same day.

Rarely, there are instances when bent rims are so severely damaged that they cannot be brought back to spec. In such cases Wheel-Tech does not charge the customer for time spent on the rim if the damage cannot be fixed.

In addition, Wheel-Tech uses a huge database of used OEM rims and will often find an exact replacement, once again, for a fraction of the cost.

Wheel-Tech, Inc. is a Chicago rim shop that has been repairing and straightening rims for the past 10 years. It is located in Highland Park, IL (just north of Chicago).
