Every car owner has a special relationship with their car: Some people put a lot of time and money into their wheels and pay close attention to good car care. Others see their car as a means to an end and don't mind dirt or scratches. True enthusiasts prefer to do as many repairs themselves as possible and are more than happy to spend their weekends screwing, polishing and driving. No matter what type of driver you are: If you notice wheel damage, you should always contact a specialist. Simple cracks and dents can quickly lead to dangerous consequential damage, which specialists like us can identify in good time, improve and, if the worst comes to the worst, replace.

A broken rim can be so dangerous

Superficial scratches and dents in rims are annoying, but initially not dangerous. Only when moisture and ice come into contact with the damaged paint does the rim lose stability and become a problem. High impact and deep curb scratches can also damage a rim so severely that it becomes a road hazard:

• Worn rims eventually lose stability and eventually bend.

• Also through bumps and dentsthe rim deforms and causes the wheel to wobble when driving. The higher the speed, the stronger the undesirable leverage effect, which seriously jeopardizes driving safety.

• Both scratches and dents can weaken the structure of the rim. In the worst case, the rim breaks while driving - a life-threatening situation for you and for other drivers!
