How much would be cost to repair a forged wheel?

Mar 25, 2026

Repair cost reference range


Minor scratches/oxidation (surface damage only):

Standard Grinding and Polishing: 100–300 RMB per piece.
For surfaces requiring wire drawing or electroplating, specialized equipment is needed, with costs approximately 400–600 yuan per piece
Moderate damage (dents, exposed metal, edge deformation ≤1mm):

Need to fill with putty, sandblast/NC wire drawing, three coats and three bake process + dynamic balancing:
500–1,000 yuan per piece.
Severe damage (obvious deformation, cracking, or fractures):

Possible requirements include welding, ultrasonic flaw detection, and high-strength correction.

1,000–2,000 yuan per unit or even higher.
For luxury brands (such as Maserati and Cadillac), forged wheels may cost 1,500 to 3,000 yuan per case.

Key factors influencing price


Material and Process: Forged wheels have inherently high strength. During repair, structural integrity must be maintained, resulting in more complex processes and a cost 30%–50% higher than that of ordinary aluminum alloy wheels.
Wheel size: The repair cost for hubs larger than 18 inches is typically 100–300 yuan higher than that for 16-inch hubs.

Maintenance channels:

 

4S stores or high-end specialized repair shops: higher prices (500–2000+ yuan), but more reliable warranties;
General Professional Repair Shop: Lower prices (300–800 yuan), suitable for non-luxury vehicles.
Regional disparities: First-tier cities are 20%–40% more expensive than third- and fourth-tier cities.
