Repaired Wheels More Susceptible to Damage?
Anyone know if bent or out of round wheels that have been straightened and repaired are more susceptible to future damage, such that they’d have a resulting ‘weak’ spot?
Thanks! |

A rim shop told me that it wouldn't.
But I remember reading somewhere (probably on some automotive forum), that every time the metal on a rim is impacted, whether from a pot hole, or to be straightened, microscopic cracks are made, making that spot weaker. It makes sense to me. If it's a small bend, the odds of having an impact on the same spot is probably pretty slim, but significant damage might be a reason to replace a rim instead of having it repaired. |
