The Wheel Is Damaged, Should It Be Repaired Or Replaced?

When driving on the road, it is inevitable that there will be bumps and collisions, such as when the wheel is damaged. Should it be repaired or replaced? In the face of everyone's doubts, we must first look at the degree of damage to the wheel.

1. ✅ Damage: The wheel has scratches and scrapes

    ✅ Degree of damage:⭐

This is a minor scratch and only requires repair.

✔️ The repair method is very simple. You only need to perform surface treatment on the wheel, usually just repaint it. It will not affect the wheel  frame, nor will it change the main force-bearing structure of the wheel, and naturally it will not have any impact on driving.

2. ✅ Damage: Wheel out of round, rim edge deformed

    ✅ Degree of damage: ⭐⭐

If the wheel appears out of round on a dynamic balancing machine, or the edge of the wheel hub is knocked and deformed, these can also be repaired.

✔️ The structure of the repaired wheel is the same as the normal wheel‼ ️But the material density of the repaired part has changed, and there is still a risk of damage, so you need to drive carefully.

3. ✅Damage: Large chunks of the wheel are knocked off, spokes are broken/missing, and the rim is cracked.

    ✅ Damage degree: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

If the wheel is missing or cracked, its load-bearing structure has been damaged and cannot be repaired. In this case, the wheel must be replaced in time, and the vehicle cannot be driven on the road.
