It’s important to understand how your wheels can get damaged in the first place. Since our wheels are so close to the road, there are a number of ways that they can accumulate damage over their lifetime.
The most common cause of wheel damage is curb checking. When you pull up to a curb on the street, like a parking space, your wheel can rub against the curb causing scratches and dents, if you get too close.
Another common cause of wheel damage is road salt during the winter. Aluminum wheels can become especially corroded and will lose their shine over time.
