Bent and Cracked Wheels
🚗 Curbside Rim Repair – Serving New Jersey
Potholes Are Costing Drivers Billions
Potholes cost U.S. drivers about $3 billion every year in damage. A 2016 AAA study found drivers spent $15 billion over five years fixing pothole-related repairs.
Your rims are a critical part of your car — they connect the axles to the tires. Most modern rims are made from aluminum, which is lighter but more vulnerable to pothole damage. A deep pothole, especially at highway speeds, can easily cause a bent or cracked rim.
Can a Cracked Rim Be Repaired?
Sometimes.
It depends on the size, location, and direction of the crack.
✅ Hairline cracks – Often repairable.
⚠Larger cracks – May not hold up over time.
🔧 Best repair candidates – Cracks on the back side of the wheel crossing the flange and bead area at a right angle to the wheel’s spin (these are most common and can often be welded).
Signs of a Bent Rim
• Vibration in the steering wheel
• Vibration in the seat (often a rear wheel)
• Less responsive handling
• Decreased fuel economy
• Thumping sound while driving
Bent rims can cause: air leaks, flat tires, blowouts, wheel wobble, poor handling, and steering issues — all dangerous at highway speeds.
