Welding
Cracks in steel or alloy rims can quickly compromise the integrity of a vehicle and lead to serious mechanical issues if not addressed early. Our rim welding service repairs structural damage using high-penetration welds suited to high-stress environments. Every weld is followed by grinding, shaping and thorough inspection to ensure the surface is smooth and secure. This process restores load-bearing capacity and reduces the risk of further cracking under operational stress.
Straightening
A bent rim can throw off your vehicle’s alignment and reduce tyre life significantly. Our rim straightening process uses specialised hydraulic equipment to reshape warped rims and remove any deformities caused by impact or load. We assess each rim for concentricity and verify that the shape is restored to meet road or field performance requirements. This service helps restore consistent handling and ensures safe, even tyre contact.
Balancing
After welding or straightening, balancing is a critical final step to ensure the wheel operates smoothly. We use dynamic balancing to identify any weight distribution issues across the rim and correct them with precision. This reduces steering vibration, protects suspension components and improves fuel economy over time. Balanced rims also reduce strain on tyres, helping extend their lifespan and maintain consistent traction across various surfaces.
