Do You Need to Repair a Cracked Car Wheel Rim?

Can a cracked tire rim be repaired? If you’re asking that question, you have probably noticed a nasty crack in your beloved rim. The good news is that yes, most often, United Tires can repair cracked rims.

Warning: Do not drive on cracked rims and do not try to repair it unless you’re a trained and certified rim repair technician who has all the experience and tools required.

While alloy rims are typically rust resistant, and therefore more long-lasting than traditional metal rims, they can be brittle, which causes them to crack, bend and become deformed. When your rim is bent or cracked, the seal that retains air is broken, which can cause the tire to leak air. That means that a cracked wheel can cause:

  • pdifficult handling
  • improper tire wear
  • reduced gas mileage
  • unexpected blow-outs that could cause an accident
