Cosmetic vs. structural damage

This service page focuses on cosmetic restoration and refinishing. Bent, cracked, leaking, or impact-damaged wheels require an in-person safety evaluation before any recommendation.

If the tire is losing air or the vehicle vibrates, stop driving and call for guidance.

Wheel restoration questions

Can curb rash be repaired?

Many common curb-rash and surface-scuff conditions can be improved through cosmetic repair and refinishing. The extent and location of the damage determine the recommendation.

Can you match the existing wheel color?

We evaluate the wheel finish and surrounding wheels before refinishing. Age, prior repairs, specialty finishes, and lighting can affect the final appearance.

Should I send photos of every wheel?

Yes. Send the damaged wheel plus at least one unaffected wheel. That gives us useful context for the color, finish, and overall condition.
