What's involved

What this repair actually is.

NYC potholes bend and crack wheels, causing vibrations and slow air leaks where the tire bead can't seal. We verify the exact size, bolt pattern, and offset your vehicle needs, source a replacement (new aftermarket, OEM, or quality refurbished), transfer your tire and TPMS sensor onto it, balance it, and install it.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • Visible bend or flat spot on the rim edge
  • Tire loses air but the tire itself checks out fine
  • Vibration that balancing didn't fix
  • Crack in the wheel found during tire work
  • Deep curb rash you want gone
If you delay

A bent rim slowly leaks and hammers the suspension, and a cracked wheel can fail suddenly at speed.
