Alloy wheel repair and refurbishmentOctober 16, 2026

Repair or replace alloy wheels?

Repair is usually the right answer for cosmetic damage and many bends, and replacement is the safer choice when the wheel is cracked through a structural area. A photo is enough for us to give you a view on which applies.

When repair makes sense

Kerb rash, peeling lacquer, corrosion on the surface and many bends can all be put right. A refurbishment keeps your original wheels, which also means the set still matches. See our alloy wheel refurbishment page for the process.

Quick answers

Is a repaired wheel as strong as a new one?

A properly repaired wheel is fit for the road, and we only repair wheels where that is the case. Straightening and welding restore the shape of the wheel, but a wheel with structural cracks should be replaced. We say so if we cannot repair yours safely.

Can I replace just one wheel?

Yes, but check that it matches the other three in design and finish. A refurbished original always matches.

How long does repair take?

A standard refurbishment takes 36 to 48 hours, and diamond cut repairs take 2 working days. Free loan wheels are available subject to stock, so call to check for your make.

How many times can a wheel be repaired?

It depends on the damage and what has been done before. Our guide on how many times a wheel can be refurbished explains the limits.
