Rim Repair
Professional Rim Repair
A damaged rim does not always mean you need to replace the entire wheel.
Depending on the type, location, and severity of the damage, professional rim repair may restore the appearance or function of your existing wheel for significantly less than the cost of replacement.
At Full Blast Wheel Repair, we repair cosmetic wheel damage, provide full wheel restoration services, and repair certain bent wheels and cracked wheels when the damage is suitable for repair.
Before replacing your wheel, send us photos of the damage. We can help determine whether your rim can be repaired, restored, or should be replaced.
What Types of Rim Damage Can We Repair?
Full Blast Wheel Repair offers cosmetic wheel repair, full wheel restoration, custom wheel color changes, bent wheel repair, and cracked wheel repair for a range of wheel damage and finish concerns.
Curb Rash and Cosmetic Rim Damage
Curb rash is one of the most common types of wheel damage.
Scrapes, scratches, gouges, and abrasions along the outer edge or face of the wheel can often be repaired and refinished to dramatically improve the appearance of the wheel.
If the damage is localized and the existing finish can be properly restored, a cosmetic rim repair may be all that is needed.
Custom Wheel Color Changes
Want a completely different look for your wheels?
We offer custom wheel color changes using professional paint and powder coating, whether you’re looking for a blacked-out finish, a new custom color or a complete refresh of all four wheels.
Cracked Aluminum Rim Repair
Certain cracks in aluminum wheels may be repairable depending on their location, severity and the overall condition of the wheel. Each cracked wheel is evaluated individually to determine whether repair is appropriate.
Wheel Restoration
Road debris, improper cleaning, corrosion, previous repairs and everyday wear can leave wheels with peeling clear coat, failing paint or significant finish damage. A complete wheel restoration allows us to address the existing damage and restore the wheel with a clean, uniform finish.
Bent Rim Repair
Potholes and road impacts can bend a wheel, causing vibration, shaking, uneven rotation, tire pressure issues, and premature tire wear. Straightening a repairable bent OEM wheel helps restore its proper shape and rotation, reducing the vibration and drivability issues caused by the bend and helping the wheel and tire perform as they should.
Certain bends on the inside of OEM wheels can be professionally straightened. Bends affecting the outside face of the wheel are not repairable through our process.
Rim Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Can a damaged rim be repaired?
Many damaged rims can be repaired, particularly when the damage is cosmetic. Certain inside bends on OEM wheels and certain aluminum wheel cracks may also be repairable. Repairability depends on the type, location and severity of the damage.
How much does rim repair cost?
Rim repair pricing depends on the type of damage, wheel design, existing finish and condition of the wheel. Send us photos of the damage for an initial assessment and quote.
For a detailed breakdown of typical pricing for curb rash repair, bent wheel straightening, full wheel restoration, color changes, and crack repair, read our 2026 Wheel Repair Cost Guide.
Can curb rash be repaired?
Yes. Curb rash can generally be repaired, but the appropriate repair depends on the depth of the damage and the type of finish on the wheel.
Minor to moderate scratches, scrapes and gouges can often be repaired as a localized cosmetic repair. Deeper damage may require a more extensive wheel restoration to properly address the damaged area and achieve the best possible finish.
If curb damage extends into a factory-machined portion of the wheel, there may also be limitations to how closely the original finish can be recreated. We do not remachine wheels, but in many cases we can significantly improve the appearance of the damage while repairing the exposed area to help protect the aluminum from further corrosion.
We’ll always explain what can realistically be achieved before moving forward so you know what to expect from the repair.

Can a cracked aluminum rim be repaired?
Certain aluminum wheel cracks may be repairable depending on their location, severity, and the overall condition of the wheel. Each wheel must be evaluated individually.
Get a free quote and send us photos of the damage so we can determine whether the wheel may be an appropriate candidate for repair. Not all cracked wheels are repairable. Pricing starts at $500 per wheel.
Can a bent rim be repaired?
Yes, certain bent rims can be repaired, but it depends on where the bend is located, how severe the damage is, and whether the wheel is OEM or aftermarket.
At Full Blast Wheel Repair, we straighten OEM wheels when the bend is located on the inside lip and the wheel is an appropriate candidate for repair. We do not straighten bends on the outside face of the wheel, wheels with multiple bends, wheels that are both bent and cracked, or structurally damaged aftermarket wheels.
Repairing a qualifying bent wheel can help restore proper rotation and address symptoms caused by the bend, including vibration, shaking, balancing issues, and slow tire pressure loss.
If you’re unsure whether your wheel can be repaired, send us photos and get a free quote so we can evaluate the damage. For a more detailed explanation of what can and cannot be repaired, read our Bent Wheel Repair vs. Replacement guide.
Is it cheaper to repair a rim or replace it?
In many cases, repairing a damaged rim can cost significantly less than replacing it, especially when you're dealing with an OEM, luxury, discontinued, or difficult-to-find wheel.
However, repair isn't always the better option. If a wheel has severe structural damage, is heavily compromised, or cannot be appropriately repaired, replacement may make more sense.
The best way to decide is to compare the repair cost with the actual replacement cost for your specific wheel. Our 2026 Wheel Repair Cost Guide breaks down typical pricing for curb rash, bent wheels, full wheel restoration, color changes, and crack repair.

How much does full wheel restoration cost?
Full wheel restoration pricing depends on the condition of the wheels, the existing finish, corrosion, previous repairs, and the amount of preparation required to achieve a clean and uniform result.
A full restoration may be recommended when wheels have peeling clear coat, paint failure, corrosion, heavy cosmetic wear, previous repair work, or damage across multiple areas that cannot be properly addressed with a localized repair.
For a detailed breakdown of typical pricing, visit our 2026 Wheel Repair Cost Guide. You can also send us photos and get a free quote for your specific wheels.
How much does it cost to change the color of my wheels?
The cost of a custom wheel color change depends on the current condition of the wheels, the finish you're looking for, and whether cosmetic repair or restoration is needed before the new finish can be applied.
If the wheels have curb rash, corrosion, peeling clear coat, paint failure, or previous repair work, additional preparation or restoration may be required, which can affect pricing.
For a detailed pricing breakdown, see our 2026 Wheel Repair Cost Guide. You can also send us photos and get a free quote based on the current condition of your wheels and the color change you're looking for.
