Rim damage often gives clear signals. Below are the most common symptoms our customers come in with.
Vibrations or shaking of the steering wheel — especially at higher speeds — may indicate rim runout. The most common cause is radial runout after hitting a pothole or curb.
Scraping an alloy rim against a curb is one of the most common reasons for a service visit. Depending on damage depth, we perform rim edge repair and restoration.
If the rim is deformed, the tire does not hold its proper shape — the steering wheel may pull, the car drifts to one side, or the tire wears unevenly. Rim straightening restores proper geometry.
A scratched or cracked alloy rim requires professional assessment. Deep damage may disqualify the rim from further use — we always inform the customer about repair options.
We offer alloy rim straightening, rim edge repair and tire repair. Most work is done in a single visit.
Alloy rim straightening after hitting a curb or pothole. We remove radial and axial runout. Alloy rims are straightened hydraulically, preserving material structure.

Radial runout after hitting a pothole
Alloy rim edge scraped against curb
We check the rim on a specialized device — we measure radial and axial runout, assess the edge condition and whether the rim is repairable.
Depending on the damage type, we straighten the rim hydraulically. We work cold or with heating — depending on the aluminum alloy.
After repair we check runout and tightness again. The rim is handed over after full inspection. Most repairs are ready the same day.
