Impact damage: Hitting potholes, curbs, or other road obstacles can forcefully impact the wheel, causing it to bend or buckle. This mainly occurs at higher speeds and will usually impact the wheels immediately
Uneven wear and tear: Over time, uneven tyre wear can cause the wheel to become unbalanced, leading to vibrations and eventually bending or buckling. Unbalanced wheels will also cause impaired handling. This can make the vehicle more difficult to control and increase the risk of an accident especially when hitting hazards such as potholes or speed humps.
Improper mounting or dismounting: Improper tire mounting or dismounting techniques can put undue stress on the wheel, leading to deformation. This is very uncommon on OEM wheels and is mostly found in situations where improper equipment is used to mount or dismount tyres.
The use of run-flat, low-profile tyres: Low-profile run-flat tires, with their thinner sidewalls, provide less cushion between the road and the wheel. This reduced cushioning makes the wheels more susceptible to impact damage, especially from potholes, curbs, and other road irregularities.
Examine the wheel closely: Look for any visible signs of damage, such as dents, cracks, or scratches. Bent alloy wheels may appear warped or have uneven surfaces.
Check the tire bead: Inspect the area where the tire meets the rim, looking for any signs of unevenness or separation.
Inspect the wheel hub: Check for any damage or distortion around the hub, where the wheel mounts to the axle.
Spin the wheel: Rotate the wheel slowly while observing its movement. A bent alloy wheel may wobble or appear to be out of balance.
Use a flathead screwdriver: Place a flathead screwdriver against the lip of the wheel and slowly rotate the wheel. If the screwdriver touches the wheel at uneven intervals, it indicates a bent alloy wheel.
Check for tire rub: Inspect the tire’s sidewall for signs of rubbing against the fender or suspension components. This could indicate a bent alloy wheel that is causing the tire to misalign.
Here is where you can spot the most common signs of bent or buckled wheels and this may include:
Vibrations: Pay attention to any vibrations felt in the steering wheel, seat, or throughout the vehicle. Vibrations are a common symptom of bent alloy wheels. Vibrations in the steering wheel or throughout the vehicle at certain speeds may indicate a bent alloy wheel.
Pulling or drifting: If the vehicle tends to pull to one side while driving, it could indicate a bent alloy wheel affecting the vehicle’s balance. Similarly, this could indicate a wheel that requires balancing or wheel straightening.
Uneven tire wear: Check for uneven wear on the tires, especially if it is concentrated on one side. Excessive wear on one side or patchy tyre wear could indicate a bent alloy wheel.
Alloy wheels are a significant investment but they are also your only contact with the road surface, therefore, regular maintenance and prompt repair of any damage can help extend their lifespan and keep you safe. By addressing bent or buckled alloy wheels early on, you can prevent further damage to your vehicle’s suspension, tires, and overall handling.
