Cracked, bent, or worn out, an aluminum wheel can usually be repaired. This wheel had been subjected to nearly two decades of off-road abuse. Grinding off all the ragged edges is the initial step of the rebuild.
|
New material is TIG-welded to fill any dents and low spots. This process can actually make the wheel stronger than stock.
|
To restore the welded rim to (or past) its former glory, the wheel lip is turned on a huge lathe. This improves the aesthetics and trues the wheel for easier balancing. The finished wheel is certainly much better looking?and far more functional.
