Wheels: Service and Repair

Wheel Leaks

1. Pinhole leaks in cast aluminum wheels compromise the wheel integrity. Install a new wheel.

Straightening Wheels, Rims or Components

1. NOTE:  Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening to repair damage. The special alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated.

Uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.

Do not weld the wheels for any reason.
