A bent or buckled alloy wheel doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be replaced. Professional wheel straightening can often help restore suitable damaged wheels and extend their usable life.



Potholes, kerbs and road impacts are common causes of wheel distortion, which can result in vibration, uneven rotation and a less comfortable drive.

Our wheel straightening process begins with carefully assessing the wheel and the extent of the damage before any repair work is carried out.

Suitable wheels can then be professionally straightened to help correct distortion and restore the wheel as closely as practicable to its proper shape.



Where additional damage is identified, Spectrum also provides crack repairs, welding and alloy wheel refurbishment, giving you access to a complete range of wheel repair and refinishing services.

Wheel straightening is a specialist repair process used to correct alloy wheels that have become bent, buckled or distorted following an impact.

Damage can occur after hitting potholes, kerbs or other road hazards, causing the wheel to lose its correct shape. Depending on the severity and location of the damage, a suitable wheel may be professionally straightened rather than replaced.

The process involves carefully assessing the wheel before controlled straightening is carried out to help correct the distortion and restore the wheel as closely as practicable to its proper shape.

At Spectrum Powder Coatings, we can assess damaged alloy wheels and advise whether straightening is an appropriate repair.

Repair Before You Replace

A bent or buckled alloy wheel can sometimes look beyond repair, but replacement isn't always the only option.

Professional wheel straightening can provide a cost-effective solution for suitable damaged wheels, helping correct distortion caused by potholes, kerbs and road impacts.

Each wheel is assessed individually, as the type, position and severity of the damage will determine whether straightening is appropriate.

Where the wheel also requires cosmetic restoration, Spectrum Powder Coatings can combine wheel straightening with our alloy wheel refurbishment and powder coating services, helping restore both its condition and appearance.

Professional Assessment & Precise Repair

Every damaged alloy wheel is different, which is why careful assessment is an important part of the wheel straightening process.

The position and severity of the bend or buckle will be assessed to determine whether the wheel is suitable for straightening before repair work begins.

Using specialist equipment and controlled techniques, the wheel can then be carefully worked to help correct distortion and restore its shape as accurately as practicable.

If additional damage such as cracks is discovered, we can also advise on our professional crack repair and welding services, as well as refinishing and powder coating where required.
