Common forms of Damage.

 

The most common form of damage to Mag wheels is done by scraping, hitting or running up kerbs, Potholes in the road, Hitting foreign objects on the road and Tyres blowing out.

 

 

Cast Mag Wheels.

 

If your Mag wheels are Cast Aluminium then they can be repaired.  95% of Cast Wheels do not go through a true heat treatment process, they are simply cooled at a certain temperature after they have been poured at the foundry stage. This is why all Cast wheels can be repaired. Just the process in welding,staightening and machining is so much different. BRUGAR ENGINEERING can usually identify what your wheels are by visual inspection of stamp marks.

 

** Cast wheels are generally much heavier in weight and also feel thicker than other wheels

 

Spun Mag wheels can be repaired if dented or bent, but if cracked they sometimes end up costing much more than Cast Mags.
