Straightening, welding and refinishing — usually far cheaper than a replacement.
In shortRepair of buckled, kerbed and cracked alloy rims, including straightening, welding and cosmetic refinishing. City Wheels does this at its workshop in I&T Centre, G-10/1, Islamabad, open 24 hours, 7 days a week with no appointment needed. Typical time: same day for most repairs; refinishing may take longer. Price is on request — call or WhatsApp 0333 3996060 for a quote.
A buckled or kerbed alloy is usually repairable, and repairing it is normally a fraction of the cost of replacing one — which matters most when the damaged rim is part of a matched set you cannot buy a single replacement for.
Damage comes in three broad kinds and they are not equally fixable. A buckle, where the rim has bent out of true, is straightened under controlled pressure. Kerb rash and scuffing is a cosmetic job, machined back and refinished. A crack can sometimes be welded — but only in the right location, and only where the wheel's structure allows it.
We assess every rim before quoting, free, and we will tell you plainly when a wheel should not be repaired. A crack through a spoke or across the mounting face is not a repair job at any price; that wheel needs replacing, and we would rather lose the work than send out a wheel we do not trust.
Signs to look for
If any of these sound like your car, it is worth having us check it.
Our process
Every step, and why it matters — so you can tell whether anyone else is skipping one.
The tyre comes off and the bare rim is spun to measure run-out — both laterally and radially. This tells us exactly how far out of true the rim is and where. We will show you the figure and give you a straight answer on whether it is worth repairing.
Buckles are corrected with controlled hydraulic pressure, applied gradually and re-measured between passes. Alloy is worked slowly; rushing it introduces stress that shows up as a crack months later.
Cracks in a repairable location are ground out and TIG welded, then machined back flush. Cracks through a spoke, across the mounting face, or radiating from a bolt hole are refused — those are structural and no weld makes them safe.
Kerb damage is machined back and refinished to match the original as closely as we can. Machined faces, painted finishes and two-tone rims each need a different approach, and we will set realistic expectations about the match before starting.
The repaired rim is re-measured for run-out, then the tyre is refitted and the wheel rebalanced. If the run-out is still outside tolerance the repair has not worked, and we will tell you rather than send it out.
Typically Same day for most repairs; refinishing may take longer — and we are open 24 hours, 7 days a week.
