Bent Rim Causing Vibrations

Standard example of a bent rim. not too bad but enough to cause the tire to lose air and render the customer immobilized. Happily straightened for her at Express Wheel Repair.

After straightening with no dress up or photo shop. the back of the wheel is heated at the bend which can caramelize the finish. then hydraulic pressure is applied and counter pressure is administered to relax the bend out of the alloy. This wheel is now straight within .020 thousandths of an inch total runout. Balanced out perfectly. Rim straightening

Cracked Wheel Losing Air

This is an extreme example of a cracked wheel. Some road debris came through the tire and blasted the wheel causing this massive hole.

All cracked wheels are repaired via TIG welding. This ensures the alloy is properly fused and the weld achieves maximum strength. Both the inside and outside are welded to ensure strength. This photo was taken in 2011, the customer has been happy ever since. At Express Wheel Repair we guarantee all of our work!
