Aftermarket alloy wheels

Repairing your alloy wheel rim is a well-trodden path for our welders, but not all wheel rims are made the same.

Occasionally we are asked to weld rims that have such poor quality alloy composition that a quality weld is just not possible to achieve. Sadly, we are not magicians and if your wheel alloy is such poor quality we will have to decline to repair it.

This can be a particularly difficult moment for some drivers as one wheel damaged may effectively write off your whole set as many aftermarket wheels are only manufactured in short runs meaning that to buy just one is near impossible. On the plus side we can often use our trade contacts to source you a new set of wheels at great prices.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

• Do you often see your weld repairs recrack?

  No, we don’t often see this, maybe once a month out of literally hundreds of wheels but it is minimal.

• What can I do to stop the risk of a fresh crack?

  We can swap your wheels around on your car so that the kerb side wheel is not a repaired wheel giving this leading wheel best chance of survival in the sea of pot holes

• What else can I do to stop my wheel cracking in the future

  Stop driving through pot holes if you can!
