What to Do After Scraping an Alloy Wheel in Lynchburg

Curb rash is common, especially when parking close to a sidewalk. Surface scratches and scuffs can detract from the appearance of an alloy wheel even when the wheel remains usable.
Start by photographing the damage in good light. Deep gouges, bends, cracks or vibration after an impact should be assessed for safety before considering cosmetic refinishing.
For suitable cosmetic damage, refinishing can help restore a cleaner look. The repair method and finish match depend on the wheel material, coating and condition.
Lynchburg Wheel Repair can discuss cosmetic wheel repair options. Share photos and request an assessment before deciding on the next step.
