Wheels take a beating from potholes, curbs, debris, and winter chemicals. Because your wheel’s structure supports the entire vehicle and forms the sealing surface for your tire, any damage is serious. If the wheel fails, the tire will too.
Below is a straightforward guide to help you decide when a rim can be repaired and when replacement is the safer call—plus how Discount Tire can help you get back on the road.
Common wheel damage includes corrosion, dents, bends, scratches, and cracks—on- and off-road. Discount Tire technicians will inspect your wheel and determine if it can be safely restored to strict operating standards. If a wheel cannot be brought back to spec, we will recommend replacement.
Note: not all Discount Tire locations perform rim repair and refinishing. Contact your local store to confirm availability.

No. Do not drive on a bent rim. Even a small bend can worsen, cause air leaks, damage steering and suspension components, reduce handling and fuel economy, and increase the risk of flats or blowouts. For safety, arrange a tow to your closest service location and have the wheel inspected as soon as possible.
Cracked alloy wheels can sometimes be repaired by professionals using proper welding and refinishing techniques. This is not a DIY job—specialized tools, materials, and training are essential to restore both safety and finish. If the crack is too extensive or in a critical zone, replacement is the safest option.
Replace your wheel if it’s structurally compromised or causing handling or braking issues. Even seemingly small defects can lead to air loss, bead-seat failures, or sudden tire failure at speed. If in doubt, have your local Discount Tire inspect the wheel and recommend the safest path.
You can also replace wheels anytime for a visual upgrade. Preview new styles on your vehicle with our visualizer.
Walk-ins are welcome, but you’ll typically wait less when you buy and book online.
If you replace a rim, ensure proper: - Bolt pattern and hub bore for your vehicle - Diameter and width that work with your tires and clearance - Offset to maintain correct stance, brake clearance, and steering geometry
Enter your vehicle to see only wheels that fit, or ask your local store for help.
