Aluminum alloy rim wheels look sharp and are available in a multitude of styles and sizes. Although an aluminum alloy rim wheel can be expensive to Replace in most cases it is very repairable. Factory Original aluminum car wheels and used car part rims as well as alloy Truck SUV wheel rim types are manufactured with an alloy made up from several grades of newly mined or in most cases recycled aluminum.
Unlike a used auto part rim manufactured from steel which can suffer from Hydrogen Embrittlement (stress cracks, air pocket inclusions) when it is heated, Most often a wheel made of aluminum alloy can be safely repaired.
Badly damaged car and motorcycle wheels can be welded, However and Eddy Test is recommended. (an Eddy Test can detect stress cracks and weak or porous areas in an aluminum alloy wheel to help determine its reparability.
The Eddy Test checks for flaws in the aluminum by introducing a current in the material and measuring the induced magnetic field. The electrical current will "eddy" around defects and the probe will sense this. This technology originated in the aircraft industry
Aluminum is the most recycled non-ferrous metal on our planet due to its molecular structure it can be melted, cast and re-melted indefinitely without loosing any of its structural integrity or flexibility, for this reason aluminum alloy car part wheels and Motorcycle rims can be repaired to a like new condition through the use of measured heat and applied pressure performed by an experienced wheel rim repair specialists.

A checked outer rim or creased barrel will also cause uneven tire wear.
Cracked wheel flanges, broke outer rims, out of round spoke rim wheels, or a scratched tire rim, and even a wheel rim with a simple bend to the curbed surface will greatly reduce gas mileage and tire life.

Replacing your motorcycle aluminum rim wheels through a dealer can take several days.
A quality alloy aluminum Motorcycle automobile Car rim wheel repair can be performed in a matter of hours the majority of time, This greatly reduces the amount of Motorcycle vehicle down time due to a bent wheel or a torn chrome rim. Scraped up used tire rims are another common ailment to used tire rim wheels.
Replacing a factory car, truck, SUV or motorcycle alloy rim wheel can range from $200 to $1500 per rim. Having aluminum alloy motorcycle car rim wheels repaired can be a great option. But if an aluminum rim wheel has been damaged severely, The Wheel Warehouse will never compromise your safety: If there’s any question, We will offer a factory original motorcycle auto rim wheel replacement.
The Wheel Warehouse Inc. has one of the most respected tire rim wheel repair facilities and motorcycle rim wheel networking operations in the country to repair a cycle wheel, or bike alloy repair.
There are other companies that claim to fix aluminum wheels, However you could be jeopardizing your safety and that of your family by using someone without proper experience.
We are not a mobile aluminum alloy motorcycle wheel repair or a mobile aluminum magnesium alloy auto mobile car rim wheel repair company, we have operated our aluminum wheel repair business from our Dayton Ohio 45440 location since 1993.
ACU-TRU aluminum wheel repair in alloy wheel repairs exceeds most shops. Our aluminum wheel repair specialists can repair most wheels that have been curbed, scrapped up, cracked or chemically damaged, providing excellence in both structural and cosmetic repairs. Aluminum rim repair and alloy rim repairs are guaranteed.
We utilize our own engineered equipment and guaranteed processes to return damaged, scraped and, in most cases, bent wheels back to their original factory specifications. Because your safety is our highest priority, we will not repair any alloy wheel that cannot be safely ridden on after repair.
The aluminum steel wheel repair process is straight forward. First, we check the aluminum steel rim wheel for structural integrity and radial runout. With the proper heat, consistent hydraulic pressure and light vibrations under pressure, the alloy wheel will move without cracking back to its original condition.
Once identified, each aluminum automobile or motorcycle rim repair or motorcycle rim wheel repair is washed thoroughly to remove all brake dust and enable our aluminum wheel repair techs to properly evaluate the extent of damage. This is particularly important because brake dust removal is essential to determining the level of damage to a wheel. But it must be done correctly, because wheels with a polished or anodized finish can be damaged if the wrong washing compound is used.
A dial indicator is used to determine run-out on the wheel. The distance the wheel traveled up and down while spinning would be 5/1,000 of an inch both in the high and low position or swing.
Lateral run-out, on the other hand, is how much the damaged motorcycle rim wheel will wobble from side to side. On some larger diameter Motorcycle wheel or Truck and SUV wheel repairs that are subjected to a hard pothole hit or curb check, the wheel will be bent and, if hit or impact is hard enough, it will bend and twist the spokes. Most lateral run-out to a car rim repair can be corrected with pressure on the back of the rim wheel.
But when the lateral runout cannot be corrected, the factory original magnesium alloy wheel is not repairable
Chrome grand am wheels or wheel repair difficult to restore. Lateral runout is the hardest type of wheel rim repair to accomplish. It also happens to be the most deceptive, because while a wheel may look like it has only minor rim damage, it can actually be fairly significant and not easily seen to the naked eye unless the car or motorcycle wheel is spinning. This is especially common on newer front-wheel-drive cars, where much of the force is cantilevered to the back.

We value your safety above everything else and, for that reason, The Wheel Warehouse Inc considers a steel or aluminum alloy magnesium rim wheel to be irreparable if cracks appear: Near the base of a spoke, Near the lug area, On the inner lip of the wheel away from the spokes. (But if a crack is smaller in size, this type of damage is usually salvageable.)
Finally, we inspect for finish defects, searching out poor paint finish or additional scuffs and scratches.
Once fully inspected, all information is added to the car or motorcycle wheels work order. We will then confirms the cost of the work with the customer and remarks on other items that might be involved, such as valve stem types, tire mounting and any other details. Once approved by the customer, work begins.
If the aluminum Motorcycle rim wheel repair needs refinishing, it is first stripped using an acrylic medium similar to sand. This medium is superior to steel shot or metal oxide, which are more commonly used. Though they remove the finish more quickly and are cheaper, they also rough up the surface and tear away some of the metal. This is particularly destructive when you want to retain any original cast markings that the manufacturer has displayed.
The alloy wheel is placed in a blast cabinet with circulating plastic beads, removing the finish without removing metal. But we do not do this in every situation, because old paint is always the best primer base. We will sometimes fill in the existing finish, prep the surface and cover it with new paint.
The next step in the process is straightening the bent wheel. This removes the majority of the damage as well as any side-to-side wobble.
Once the wheel rim is true, it is time to refinish, re-machine or re-polish the wheel. We use a computer color-matching system to match the factory paint finish. If the color is not on file, our painters can match by eye, or deliver a custom finish that is white, anthracite or matched to the owner¹s specifications.
All wheel finishes are guaranteed for one year. In addition we assure that the wheel repair will be free of material defect. While this warranty does not cover previous repair wheel scraping or damage to the finish due to the use of improper cleaning chemicals or customer error, it does cover discoloration, fading or peeling for no reason.
If the wheel has a machined finish, it is put on a lathe. for most factory alloy and many custom wheels. If we don¹t have it in stock, We will locate a wheel within hours.
Upon completion, each aut0, motorcycle or truck wheel is subjected to a final quality check. It is examined for run-out and the finish is checked for dirt or dust in the paint, unevenness or orange peel. If everything checks out, the fixed wheel is ready for tire mounting or delivery.

Pontiac used Grand Am chrome wheels
Nov 2007 News Release by Brian Hucke - www.thewheelwarehouse.com
Here comes Winter! Snow is very likely any time after Thanksgiving throughout the Northern and Midwestern states. It's that time of the year to decorate the house and send out those Holiday greetings.
But whatever you do this month , don't forget to air up your tires. It is a fact that tires lose air pressure when the temperature drops. An under inflated aluminum alloy or steel tire rim wheel assembly is more likely to bend thru normal driving or from hitting the occasional pot hole than a properly inflated tire.
For every 10-degree decrease in outside temperature, tire air pressure drops by 1-2 pounds. It¹s important to check your air pressure regularly to avoid under-inflation, lower fuel economy, poor performance and premature wear.
Have you ever purchased a Helium balloon in a store and watched it shrink as you went outside into the cold air? Your tires experience the same reaction, only the effects are not as obvious. So make sure you keep your tires aired up. Your tires, wheels, and wallet will appreciate it.
For those of you who do not take the time to maintain the air pressure in your vehicle's car truck or SUV we offer reasonable steel and aluminum alloy bent wheel rim repairs. You can visit our wheel rim repair page on the net www.thewheelwarehouse.com or contact us at 1-800-941-6400
