What is Cosmetic Damage?

Cosmetic damage refers to the visible scratches, dents, or discoloration on the alloy wheel. While this may not affect the car's driving capability, it can lower the aesthetic appeal. Maintaining the look of your car is important, especially if you plan to resell it in the future.

What is Alignment Risk?

Alignment risk occurs when kerb damage affects the wheel's alignment, leading to uneven tire wear and potential handling issues. Misaligned wheels can cause the car to pull to one side, compromising safety and performance.

Checklist for Car Owners

  • Inspect your alloy wheels regularly for scratches or dents.
  • Check tire wear patterns for signs of misalignment.
  • Address any cosmetic damage promptly to prevent further issues.
  • Consider professional alloy wheel repair if you notice significant damage.
