Can Slightly Deformed Rims Be Repaired?
1 Answers
Yes, they can be repaired. Generally, rim damage occurs due to hitting potholes at high speeds, causing deformation, curb scratches, surface damage, or corrosion. The main load-bearing points of a rim are the spokes. As long as the spokes are not bent or deformed, it does not affect safe usage. Deformation of the wheel rim can be repaired. Locating the Deformation: For slight deformations, specialized detection equipment is needed to pinpoint the exact location of the rim's deformation. Localized Heating: Use heating tools to apply localized heat to the deformed area of the rim. Correction: Once the deformed area reaches a certain temperature, use rim repair equipment to correct the deformation.
