Alloy Wheel Refurbishment High Wycombe

Alloy wheels are a popular accessory for the modern day car owner. For the proud vehicle owners among us it is extremely frustrating how easy it is to damage alloys, particularly as any car fanatic knows it’s paint and wheels that first get a fellow fanatics attention. Alloy wheels can prove an expensive addition to your vehicle but in return they will add to the resale value when you decide to upgrade.

Alloy wheels are susceptible to various types of damage. Hitting a pot hole can result in a buckled wheel, parking can result in alloys becoming scratched or kerbed, hairline cracks can appear simply because alloy is more fragile than steel.

Auto Medics are here to offer you advice on how to avoid wheel damage:

• Be cautious when parking your car next to a kerb, make sure you use your mirrors to ensure you don’t end up so close to the kerb you inflict damage
• Watch the road and ensure you avoid potholes to avoid denting the rims, buckling the wheel and even puncturing the tyre
• Keep your wheels clean to avoid grime and dirt corroding your alloys
• Keep your tyres inflated correctly as low pressure can increase the chances of damage to your wheel rims
