What to put in the photo of a damaged wheel

Start with the whole wheel, then take a close-up of the damaged spot in good daylight. A third shot of the car's side shows which wheel the damage is on. Add the registration, or the make and model, and mention anything you have noticed while driving, such as a vibration. The more we can see, the faster the quote comes back and the firmer the price is. If one wheel is marked and the others are fine, photograph each wheel you want looked at.

Questions about lifting lacquer and scuffs

How soon should a scraped wheel be looked at?

Once the lacquer is broken, moisture and road salt get to the metal and corrosion spreads under the finish around it. Dealing with a small patch early means a smaller job, and a photo tells you where yours stands.

Is it worth fixing just one damaged wheel?

It is. The wheel is refinished to match the finish on the other three, or you can have the whole set done together if you prefer an even look.

Is pothole damage always visible on the wheel?

Sometimes the only sign is a vibration through the steering, the car pulling to one side or a tyre that keeps losing pressure. Any of these can mean a bend, so have it checked, and keep photos in case you need them for a claim.
