Bent rim straightening
Pothole hit? Steering wheel shaking at highway speed? Most bent alloy wheels can be straightened instead of replaced, done in-house on a hydraulic wheel straightener.

Precision straightening, not guesswork
We mount the wheel, measure runout with a dial indicator to find every bend on the inner and outer barrel, then press it back true. Every straightened wheel is checked for cracks, re-measured and balanced before it leaves the shop.
- Inner and outer barrel bends
- Lip bends and flat spots
- Crack inspection on every wheel
- Runout verified after repair
Signs you have a bent rim
Vibration at speed
A shake through the steering wheel or seat that balancing alone does not fix.
Slow air leak
A bend in the bead seat can let a tire lose air over days.
Visible dent or flat spot
Often on the inner barrel, where you only see it with the wheel off.
Wheel will not balance
The shop keeps adding weights and the vibration stays.
Uneven tire wear
A bent wheel can wear the tire in patches.
After a pothole hit
If you hit one hard, get it checked before the tire fails.

Common questions
Is it safe to straighten a bent rim?
For most alloy wheels, yes, when done on proper equipment and inspected for cracks afterwards. If a wheel is cracked or too damaged, we weld and pressure-test it or recommend a replacement.
How long does rim straightening take?
Usually within a few business days. Send photos and we will confirm timing with your quote.
Can you straighten large 20 to 22 inch wheels?
Yes. We straighten everything from compact car wheels to large SUV and performance wheels.
Will the finish be damaged?
Straightening is done from the barrel, so the face finish is usually untouched. If the lip is also damaged we can refinish it.
