1 Answers
Wheel rim edges with slight deformation can be repaired, but it is not recommended. Some hidden damages during the repair process are not easily visible: This can easily pose safety hazards, so it is advisable to replace the wheel rim with a brand new one. Damage to wheel rims is usually related to aluminum alloy rims, primarily caused by external forces: One type is surface damage, mainly involving wear and scratches on the rim surface. The other is deformation damage, which, as the name suggests, refers to the rim becoming deformed or twisted under external force. The method for repairing steel wheel rims involves first testing the wheel rim support bar on specialized equipment. If the support bar is deformed, the wheel rim cannot be repaired.
