Aluminum Wheel Restoration
Aluminum wheel damage we can address includes:
- Scratches and scrapes
- Chipping and peeling paint
- Curb impact damage
Although many aluminum wheels can be returned to a near-original condition, some may require replacement. In conjunction with wheel repair, we’ll advise if a wheel alignment is also necessary. Our team is dedicated to presenting you with the most cost-effective solutions to return your vehicle to the road, prioritizing both safety and aesthetics.
Why Is Aluminum Wheel Maintenance Important?
Addressing minor damages on your aluminum wheels is not only for the look of the vehicle but also for maintaining its integrity. Unrepaired scratches can lead to oxidation, and in harsh conditions like winter, the deterioration can accelerate. This corrosion, if neglected, may compromise the wheel's seal with the tire, causing persistent air loss and potentially necessitating a complete wheel replacement.
Why Choose Aluminum Wheels?
Aluminum wheels, typically crafted from an alloy of aluminum, magnesium, and nickel, offer many more advantages over traditional steel.
- Better visual appeal
- Greater design versatility
- Resilience against corrosion
- Strength and lightweight nature
- Improved vehicle dynamics
- Improved braking
- Less suspension strain
- Efficient heat dissipation from brakes
- Fuel economy benefits
Aluminum wheels are outshining steel in popularity due to their aesthetic appeal and performance benefits. Have more questions about your wheels? Contact QA Collision.
