What Makes Alloy Wheels Crack?
Your wheel gets damaged when it hits potholes, kerbs, or big bumps. This creates a wheel crack in the metal. Your wheel rim can also crack from the metal getting tired, very hot or cold weather, rough roads, or too much weight.
Most wheel cracks start small and get bigger. You need quick and efficient help when you spot one.
Why Cracked Wheels Are Risky
A cracked alloy isn’t just ugly – it’s dangerous. The crack makes your wheel weak. It could break whilst driving and make you lose control.
Damaged areas cause a slow puncture where your tyre loses air slowly. You might not notice straight away, but low tyre pressure makes steering harder and uses more fuel.
Bad cracks can make your wheel break apart whilst driving. This makes your tyre blow out suddenly, and steering becomes very difficult.
Our alloy wheel repair service puts safety first. Don’t wait – get cracks checked by professionals now.
How We Fix Cracked Wheels
We use special methods for cracked alloy wheel welding. Our repair and refurbishment work makes your wheel safe again.
First, we look at the wheel crack to see how bad it is. We work out if we can fix it safely. We can’t repair all cracks – if damage is too bad, we’ll tell you to get a replacement.
When we can repair your cracked alloy wheel, we clean the damaged areas properly. This removes dirt and rust that stops welding from working. We use professional equipment to fill the crack and rebuild the metal structure properly.
After the alloy wheel weld, we shape it to match your wheel rim. We test everything before adding the finish – powder coating, diamond cut alloy wheel work, or paint.
Why Pick Professional Repair Services
You might think about fixing a cracked alloy yourself, but this needs special skills and tools. Professional alloy wheel repair services like Alloy Fix have:
- Special welding tools for alloy wheels
- Knowledge about different metals
- Understanding of where wheels are strongest
- Proper testing equipment
- Insurance and guarantees
Bad repairs are worse than no repairs. If welding isn’t done right, your wheel might look fixed but could still break.
How We Work
We’ve done thousands of alloy wheel repairs using cost effective methods without cutting quality. Our team knows how different metals work with welding.
We use high quality materials chosen for alloy wheel refurbishment. During welding repair, we watch temperature carefully to stop warping or weak spots.
We usually don’t need to remove the wheels from your car. Sometimes we take the wheel off to reach damaged areas properly.
Checking Our Work
After cracked alloy wheel welding, we test every wheel. We check it spins straight and balances correctly. If it’s not perfect, we do more work.
We look at the repair area closely to spot problems that might cause trouble later. This careful checking lets us offer our 1-year warranty on welding repair services.

We give you spare wheels so you can drive whilst we work. You leave with your car the same day. We’re working on mobile alloy wheel repair services too.
Stopping Damage
Stop wheel damage by avoiding potholes when possible and slowing down when you can’t. Be careful parking near kerbs. Check tyre pressure regularly – proper pressure protects your wheels.
Don’t put more weight in your car than it’s designed for. Get wheels checked regularly.
According to vehicle safety rules, damaged wheels can fail MOT tests and cause accidents.
