At KMH Customs, we utilize safe and efficient techniques with our patented wheel straightening system. Our thorough safety inspection process includes measuring run-out and checking for hidden cracks using a dye penetrant and blacklight. If the inspection confirms that a bent wheel is safe to straighten, our technicians will proceed using our pressure relaxation wheel straightening system. Please note, frontside and backside bends may not qualify for repair depending on the location and severity of the damage.
We do not straighten bent motorcycle wheels. In such cases, we recommend replacing the wheel for safety and performance.
Potholes, curbs, road hazards, and debris can cause bends to the inner and/or outer lip of a wheel, leading to issues such as air pressure loss, uneven tire wear, high-speed vibrations, and alignment problems. In most cases, these bent wheels can be safely straightened with our specialized wheel straightening service, restoring them to optimal condition.
PROBLEM: Occurs frequently on the inner lip of the wheel but possible on the outer lip, spokes, or face. Bends are usually a result of a pothole, curb, or other road hazard.
SOLUTION: Bends are inspected for for hidden fractures and run out is measured to determine if safe to straighten. Bends are returned to balanceable trueness with patented straightening system.
PROBLEM: Typically the result of curb rash, road debris, or driving on a flat tire. Damage is generally located on the lip of the wheel, spokes, or face.
