How to Install or Repair Alloy Wheels or Rims
New alloy wheels can add something to the value of a car. However there are more than a few clear drawbacks to the situation for car owners who have invested in alloys and then suffer a minor accident which involves the wheels. No matter how good the alloy material is, it is always more easily damaged than steel. The trade-off for greater flexibility and lighter wheels is that they will be more easily knocked out of shape. However, the myth which currently exists – that alloy wheels cannot be repaired – is just that, a myth. Alloys can in fact be repaired and it doesn’t even need to cost you all that much. In fact, you can sometimes do it yourself.
The “do it yourself” aspect is something that can even be brought to the installation of your new alloy wheels. The money this saves you may or may not take the wheels themselves from being a needless, costly luxury to an affordable and beneficial investment. Alloy wheels can cost in the hundreds of dollars just for installation or repair, especially if you have to replace more than one– which, if you are buying them for the first time, you inevitably will. Before you even attempt to install them yourself, you have to be confident you know what to do. Making a mess of it will cost you all the more if you have to pay for the cost of damage and for installation. It is therefore important that you know a few details before you get started putting your new alloy wheels on.
The first thing to do is to ensure that they are correctly aligned. Some alloy wheels are asymmetric and the look of the car will be affected by how they are arranged on the wheel axles. In order to avoid mistakes which will either look awful or require you to start over, the wisest thing is to set each wheel and attached tire right beside the wheel it is replacing. Think of how race teams carry out pit stops and go from there. It is also essential that if you are replacing wheels “two at a time” its imperative that the two you replace are the back ones – moving “nearly new” ones to the front even if it is a matter of a week between the first two and the second two. This is because the back tires do more of the work on tricky, slippery roads and the newer they are the more hold they will exert.
Different alloy wheels, and different cars, will require different procedures for removal and installation. To make sure that you have the correct procedure for tire removal, consult the owner’s manual. This may seem like an unnecessary effort, but it will prevent you making time consuming and potentially costly mistakes in the installation. Getting it right first time will not only save time and money, it will give you the experience of doing the job correctly, and you will know how to do it next time.
