Hit a pothole? Signs your wheel might be buckled

Know the warning signs

A pothole impact can damage the tyre, wheel or suspension. New vibration, a visible bend or a loss of pressure are reasons to have your vehicle checked. Do not assume a wheel repair alone will resolve every symptom.

Get it checked safely

Stop in a safe place if you suspect damage. A professional inspection can establish whether the wheel is bent, cracked or safe to repair. Our workshop uses specialist equipment to assess and straighten suitable wheels.

A little care goes a long way

Road grime, brake dust and moisture can build up on your wheels over time. Regular cleaning with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft brush helps keep the finish looking its best. Let the wheels cool before cleaning and always rinse thoroughly.

Choose the right finish for your wheels

Diamond cutting creates a bright, machined face, while powder coating offers a durable finish in a wide choice of colours. The right option depends on your wheel design, its condition and the look you want to achieve. A workshop inspection is the best starting point.

When to ask a specialist

If you notice a crack, vibration or a change in tyre pressure, have the wheel checked by a qualified specialist. Cosmetic marks and structural damage need different approaches. Send our team a photo and your wheel size for an individual assessment and quote.
