How wheels crack
Most cracks start on the inner barrel of the wheel after a hard pothole strike, often on low-profile tyres where there's little rubber to absorb the impact. The first sign is usually a tyre that loses air slowly, or a vibration that wasn't there before.
Assessing a crack
We remove the tyre and look at where the crack is, how long it is and whether the wheel is also bent. A short crack in the barrel is often repairable. We'll explain what we've found and show you photos before quoting.
When a wheel shouldn't be repaired
These carry the load of the car, so a repair isn't a safe option.
Replacement is the right call.
Usually a sign the wheel has taken too much damage.
Old welds that have cracked again may not be worth redoing.
After the repair
Repaired wheels are straightened if needed, pressure-tested, refitted with a new valve and balanced. We'll recommend keeping an eye on tyre pressures for the first few weeks as a sensible precaution.
