The (Wheel) Bends

6/29/2018

The (Wheel) Bends

Alloy wheels are frequently referred to as "aluminum" wheels but they are actually composed of an alloy of aluminum and nickel. The amounts of each element have a great affect on the properties of the alloy. Less nickel produces a lighter, more “soft” and bendable wheel. More nickel produces a heavier wheel that is harder to bend yet more brittle by comparison.

Obstacles, curbs, potholes, displaced manhole covers, and other random objects in the road are just a few of the ways your wheels can incur a bend. Often times damage occurs on the inside or back of the wheel, making it difficult to see the damage when the wheel is on the car. When your car begins to vibrate or your tire starts to lose air will be the first signal that something is wrong.

Wheel Bends Undone
There are several effective processes for straightening alloy wheels, including cold roller technology and hydraulic assistance technology. Believe it or not, some auto shops still use the hammer method. Never allow anyone to hammer out your aluminum wheels, as the outcome will likely be a cracked or destroyed wheel. Even if the wheel stays intact, the alloy will be severely damaged.

Beware of certain gadgets available on the market that claim to help straighten wheels. Usually, these involve two crescent-shaped metal blocks with a hydraulic ram between them. Supposedly, one places the crescent blocks inside the curve of the wheel and uses a foot pump to spread the blocks until the bend is removed. It seems like an easy way to destroy a wheel or cause increased damage.

The best way to straighten a bend in your alloy wheel is to send us a photo of your issue so we can give you a quote. We will usually respond within 36 hours. Let Phoenix Rim Repair do what we do best!

Can Cleaning Your Wheels Damage Them?

5/24/2018

Can Cleaning Your Wheels Damage Them?

The simple answer is yes.

A new client recently brought his Lamborghini in to get a new clear coat for the wheels. The car was beautiful and shiny and at first glance there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. As I approached the car to get a closer look I could immediately tell that someone had used an abrasive on the wheels causing ugly scratches all over the wheel surface. The client confessed that he didn’t trust anyone with his car and always washed it himself. Upon noticing unsightly grime on his wheels he decided to try a new method of removal. He didn’t realize he was damaging his wheels until it was too late – he had used steel wool which scratched the clear coating on his previously beautiful wheels. He was embarrassed about his error and upset that it was going to cost him time and money to correct.

The good news is that he trusted us with his vehicle and we were able to get the job done to his liking. Too bad we forgot to get a photo of his newly shiny wheels complete with a new clear coat on all four. He drove away a happy customer, or shall I say, sped away with a smile on his face.

Beware of Car Washes
Most car washes are designed to optimize time – to get you in and out quickly – whether it is a full-service wash or a timed self-wash. The truth is that sometimes good care takes a little more time and skill, and good products to get it done right!

We all have heard horror stories about the bumpers and rollers at full service car washes and the damage they can do to rims. There are too many road hazards to worry about as it is, let alone having to worry about receiving wheel damage when your car is “relaxing” at the car spa.

In addition, many of these full service and self-service car washes use cheap cleaners, many of them acid-based, which is not good for wheel health. If you must take your car to a wash, call ahead or visit their website to learn about the process or products they use. Oftentimes, they may not even know if their cleaner is acid-based or that such cleaners are bad for wheels.

DIY is the Best Method
Taking extra care and attention to properly learn how to clean and care for your wheels can extend the beauty and health of your wheels. How and what you choose to clean your wheels with can make a difference. Many of our customers have been the victims of awful cleaning practices whether it is at their own hand or the hands of a “professional” cleaner. Acid-based cleaners are a typical suspect – any cleaner which is required to be rinsed after a few minutes is likely an acid-based cleaner. Acid works great at burning tough brake dust off your wheels but works just as well at eating away at your beautiful clear coat. After a few applications, air, moisture and debris can start getting under the edges of the clear coat and corroding the metal, creating an unsightly road-map type pattern in the finish that cannot be washed off.

Allowing the soap to do its work before scrubbing is a good start. Find a product that is safe and effective, and of course non-acidic. Check out this detailed video about how to properly clean and protect your wheels.

An Essential Pair: Wheels and Tires

An Essential Pair: Wheels and Tires

We talk a lot about rims and wheels at Phoenix Rim Repair, but we wouldn’t exist without tires. Tires can be high performance grade or a simple everyday tire. At first glance, no one can tell the difference, usually.

Tires have evolved a lot throughout the years. At first there were carriages with wood tires, later they evolved to iron, solid rubber, and even leather. Today’s automobile tires are designed to absorb shock and road imperfections, but in the past tires were made of materials to simply provide durability and grip while on the road.

So how have tires evolved since the 1800s?

As we know them today, tires were first introduced in 1847 by Robert Thompson. It was during this period that most drivers had a preference for solid rubber tires. It wasn’t until years later when the bicycle tire was invented did consumers understand the benefit of an inflated rubber tire to provide a smoother riding experience. Also called a pneumatic or air-filled tire, these key inventions in transportation were developed by Jonnie Dunlop in 1888 for his bicycle. The riding comfort provided by the air inflation allowed the 10-year-old to ride his bike without getting headaches from the imperfect and bumpy roads.

While still the same basic concept, tire design has evolved quite a bit since the days when Jonnie Dunlop first designed a tire solution. Today, tires consist of synthetic rubber, steel cord, fabric and other natural rubber compounds. Today’s tire consists of ever-changing technology in the materials used, the design, durability, and functionality of the tire.

Tread is one of the key improvements to tire functionality. The grooves within the rubber’s surface can customize the way tires grip the street surface, affect performance in all weather conditions and influence general vehicle handling. Tread and rubber composition can allow a vehicle to handle better in slick rain or snow, grip the road surface in hot or freezing temperatures or survive hundreds of miles of hauling heavy loads.

Of course, the future holds even more innovations in tire design and functionality. Automobile tires are manufactured in a number of factories around the world, providing a plethora of options for comfort and performance in any vehicle small or large.

No matter what tires you choose, we are here to make them look great by ensuring your rims or wheels are the perfect complement to your tires. Curb rash? No problem, we’ll fix it! Tired of ugly or dull wheels? We can renew a damaged finish or color-coat to a new color of your choice!

We Can’t Prevent Your Distractions, but We Can Fix Your Damage

We Can’t Prevent Your Distractions, but We Can Fix Your Damage

According to a recent driver survey, cell phone use is a huge distraction for drivers, unsurprisingly. Browsing apps, texting or emailing, and talking on the phone are the top distractions for drivers on the road. Other distractions include viewing GPS navigation, eating or drinking, changing audio, in-car warning sounds and talking to passengers.

Obviously, there is a lot that can distract while operating a vehicle. One of the side-effects of those distractions is car damage. Namely, it’s wheel damage.

You’re meeting someone a few miles away and you glance down to check a text alert and in an instant you drift into a curb scraping up your wheels, or what we like to call “curb rash”.
You finally got that Bumble match you were hoping for and you’re so excited you can’t take your eyes off of your phone while backing up trying to parallel park in the dark. In addition to a match, you now have a rash. Curb rash, that is.
You drop a few French fries after a late night out, and while reaching for them you drift onto the shoulder of the road and run over a deep pothole causing damage to the lip of your wheel.
You just started driving for Lyft and Uber and you’re excited to have company to talk to all day long, but you hit the curb while trying to maneuver a drop off because you are too distracted sharing laughs and stories with the passengers.

These are examples of the easy ways that curbs and road imperfections can assault your wheels when you are distracted.

It happens.

At Phoenix Rim Repair, we don’t judge! We are simply happy to help repair your rims and wheels and send you on your way. Do you damage your wheels often? No problem! We have several repeat customers who trust us because we are the best in the Phoenix area for wheel repair and premium color coating.

A New Year, a New Wheel Color

1/27/2018

A New Year, a New Wheel Color

Wheel color-coating has come a long way in the past several years. A decade ago, a vehicle on the road with colored wheels or brakes was a rare sight. Back then colored wheels were mainly reserved for fancy car shows or only for those who could afford to buy the extra details to make their expensive cars look over-the-top. With better developed technologies, increased affordability, more colors, color-combinations and paint matching, there are seemingly endless options available for automobile wheels today.

How can the color of wheels and brakes be changed? It is called color-coating because it is a coating and not “painted” on. The first steps in the process is to prepare the metal to be coated – this requires a removal of any prior coating or surface application to strip the wheel down to the organic metal. This is typically done via acid “bath”. The next step is often times a primer to be applied to the wheel so it will accept the color-coating. Then the color is applied with a spray gun designed specifically for metal coating. The gun-spray coating and the prepped wheel surface have opposite electrical charges which attract to each other making for a smooth and even application.

Next the wheel or brake is baked in a large oven at about 400F. The heat cures the paint coating hardening it. The result is a durable and solid color-coated wheel ready to be that unique accessory on an automobile. To view this process in action, check out a video created by Engineering Explained. Aaron Gallinger, the owner of Phoenix Rim Repair is featured.

We’re proud of a unique color we just completed for a happy client here at Express Color Coating and Phoenix Rim Repair. This color is a rare and unique look called spectrum silver. Check it out, it really turns heads.

Searching for Wheels on Amazon? What?

12/20/2017

Searching for Wheels on Amazon? What?

A recent search on Amazon for “wheels” reveals hubcaps and related stuff like wheel cleaner and locking wheel bolts, to name a few. It seems one can buy nearly everything under the sun on Amazon, so I was a bit surprised they don’t sell wheels. Then I thought about it more and I realized that they’d probably lose money on their 2-day Prime shipping benefit if they sold & shipped bulky, heavy wheels.

It makes sense that they don’t sell wheels, so from there, I narrowed my search down to just hubcaps. I wanted to know just who is buying wheels, well hubcaps, on Amazon. What did I discover? Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry are four of the top six best-selling hubcaps on the list, the other two being universal hubcaps with no branding. Not surprising considering three out of every five cars on the road appear to be one or the other!

Clearly popular as a “wheel” search result on Amazon, hubcaps might seem like a quick and easy fix, but plastic can get damaged, cracked and worn more quickly than metal wheels. It is a fact that plastic just doesn’t hold up to the elements or road-hazards as well as metal (aluminum, steel, chrome, alloy, etc).

Considering how well cars are made these days, especially the workhorses like Camrys and Corollas, it makes sense to invest in a good set of wheels that will withstand a couple decades of use. And by wheels, I don’t mean hubcaps!

At Express Phoenix, we can refinish, repair, refurbish, refresh, polish and resculpt most damaged metal rims and make them look brand new. Click here to learn more. Often times, cars and trucks may stand up to the test of time, but wheels can need some extra TLC throughout the years, or decades, you own your vehicle.

Whether you’ve had your Toyota for fifteen years, or you just bought that used Tesla you’ve been eyeing, we can give your beloved ride the extra attention it needs. In turn, your car will get extra attention out on the road because fresh rims improve the overall appearance of your automobile.

‘Tis the season of giving, so why not treat someone in your family with a unique gift of wheel repair, a polish & coat, or a wheel color-coating? What a unique and long-lasting gift for the person who has everything, or for that special someone who just needs to spiffy up their ride.

Happy holidays and cheers to a great 2018 from all of us at Phoenix Rim Repair and Express Powder Coat!

Robots May Be Driving, but Wheels Stay the Same

Robots May Be Driving, but Wheels Stay the Same

In 2016, worldwide automotive production climbed to 95 million. With that staggering number, it is no surprise that the automotive wheel market is projected to surpass $105 Billion by 2024. Yes, wheels.

Automobiles and wheels are here to stay, even if robots are in our near future. When the self-driving automobiles hit the roads they will still have rims and wheels. That means they’ll still run into the same road hazards (as mentioned in a prior blog post).

With the overall rise of more efficient passenger vehicles now and in the future, there will be more demand for lightweight yet durable automobile materials to include carbon fiber and magnesium. With the trend of more efficient vehicles, wheels must reflect this lightweight trend as well.

At Phoenix Rim Repair, we keep up with the latest wheel trends. We service all types of wheels – large, small, heavy and light. We specialize in servicing most market rims, new or old, expensive or cheap. We love making all types of rims look great.

Come visit us on Instagram – whether you are a Lyft driver looking to spiffy up your ride, you own an old Prius that needs some wheel polishing, or you have a vintage Cadillac that needs wheel-work or metal color-coating details - we do it all at Phoenix Rim Repair!

It's Good to be Black

It's Good to be Black

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a major trend with wheels the past few years and I don’t mean wheel size. Increasing wheel size can subtly change the look and feel of your car. Upgrading your wheels to brands such as Avid, Konig, American Racing or Rucci wheels to name a few, can further improve the appearance of your ride.

But if you don’t have the funds for fancy new rims or custom wheel upgrades, you might consider another way to quickly improve the appearance of your ride: get a custom color coating over your existing wheels. The most popular trend in color coating right now is black. Black wheels can make anything from a Mini Cooper to a Range Rover look sleek and sexy. You know you’ve seen them out and about – those black on black on black road warriors – they look nice!

Hey, even Batman’s Batmobile has black wheels. Can you imagine it with chrome wheels? Not so much. It just wouldn’t look as cool.

Are your existing rims bent, discolored or just haggard? No problem! We can clean them up and prep them for a matte black coating or glossy black color coating. Or if you prefer another color, we do that too! In one afternoon your wheels can enjoy a complete makeover in our exclusive onsite wheel salon.

Check us out on Instagram to stay up-to-date with all of our latest projects. Did you get your wheels repaired at Phoenix Rim Repair or color coated at Express Powder Coating? Browse our photos – you might spot your wheels moonlighting as our new Instagram model!

Solve the Mystery of Wheel Damage

Solve the Mystery of Wheel Damage

One day it happens, you walk out to your spiffy ride and you notice your rims aren’t looking great. Maybe this has happened to you more than once. The quickest way for your vehicle to look unattractive is when your dirty, scraped or bent wheels ruin the overall look of your vehicle. No one wants their car or truck to look bad, after all if you are like most Americans, we spend a lot of time in our automobiles.

This week we’ll look at the various ways your wheels can get damaged and how to avoid them.

Cellphone Use
Can your cellphone cause damage to your rims? Not directly, but it is likely the contributing factor to curb rash and other objects you might drive into while paying more attention to your phone rather than what is on the road. Put your cellphone away when your vehicle is in motion. This can save your life, other’s lives and your wheels!

Parallel Parking
This one is a biggie. If you are not accustomed to parallel parking it can be easy to scrape up your rims during a night out on the town or just parking along the curb in a new area. Check out this video about how to properly parallel park. If all else fails, have someone guide you from outside the car!

Dust from Braking
Did you know that your brakes create a fine powder each time you brake? Eventually this dark dust can settle on your wheel’s metal, melt and cause it to look discolored and pitted. There is no need to purchase new wheels or rims, at Phoenix Rim Repair we can easily remove this unsightly gunk from your wheel surface and refinish it to look brand new!

Potholes
Just one roll over a gnarly pothole can be enough to severely damage your rim. You may not even notice it until hours or days later. It is important to be aware of these road hazards because even if it doesn’t cause damage the first time, potholes can get worse with continual traffic or bad weather and eventually become a real problem. It is a good idea to inspect your rims immediately if you have encountered a pothole and take photographs of the damage. Although rumored to be a lengthy process, in many cases, the city will reimburse you if you have to get a wheel repair due to a pothole.

Now you know just a few of the ways your wheels can suffer on the road. Even the most careful driver can end up accidentally causing damage to their rims. That is why we are here to serve you! We love what we do and we love to get your rims looking shiny and new!

Check out our recent work on Instagram, in addition to wheel refinishing and repair, we color coat wheels and brakes too!

WHAT IS THE #1 ENEMY OF YOUR WHEELS?

If you guessed that curbs are the number one enemy of your wheels then you guessed right! Damage to your wheel rims from scraping and rubbing up against curbs is commonly termed as "curb rash". Even skilled and careful drivers find that curb rash can happen easily and is difficult to repair without a professional servicer such as Phoenix Rim Repair here in Glendale. Just as you would repair a ding to your door or a crack on your windshield, curb rash on your wheels should not be ignored! Part of keeping your vehicle looking slick is to keep your rims looking pristine!

Cost Effective Wheel Customization Done Right!

We have all seen auto enthusiasts with custom wheels, whether it be chrome, low offset or deep dish, exotic 3-piece, expensive magnesium or just upgraded factory alloys. There is no denying the fact that wheels can totally change the overall appearance of your car. The only problem is that new wheels can be an expensive upgrade! Along with upgrading the wheels, usually a new set of tires is involved because the new wheels almost certainly are designed to be larger or wider than stock rims. After it's all said and done upgraded wheels and tires can cost thousands. Luckily Phoenix Rim Repair can provide the look and feel of new upgraded wheels at a fraction of the cost of a new set! Lets face it, the modern cars of the 21st century are purposefully designed from top to bottom. The wheels and tires that it came with are *usually* the best choice when fuel economy, ride quality and cornering performance are taken into equal consideration. So how do you totally change the overall appearance of your car, cost effectively while retaining the factory alloy wheels?!

Well feast your eyes on this example of beautifully done custom painted factory alloy wheels...
