Bent Rim Straightening
Computer-guided straightening presses correct bent and warped rims caused by potholes and hard hits — no vibration, no more thumping at speed.
A bent rim usually announces itself with a vibration — subtle at first, worse as speed climbs, sometimes accompanied by a slow, persistent air leak. It's almost always the result of a hard hit: a pothole taken at speed, a curb strike, or a low-speed impact that didn't look like much at the time. Whatever the cause, a bent rim needs correcting, not ignoring — an out-of-round wheel wears tires unevenly and can put uneven stress on suspension components over time.
Our straightening process uses a hydraulic press with computer-guided measurement to correct the bend and bring the wheel back within factory runout tolerances — not just "close enough," but measured and verified. We check for hairline cracks around the bend before and after straightening, since a wheel that's cracked as well as bent needs welding first, not just correction.
Most bent rims take 1–2 hours per wheel, and every straightened wheel is inspected and load-tested before it goes back on your car.
