Can You Repair Wheel Damage With On To Run-Flat Tires RFT?
Absofruitly we can!
Wheel repair for bent, pitted, peeling, and pot-hole damaged wheels are par for the course for Salt City Wheels, particularly with performance and luxury vehicles. However, run-flat tires are a fiddly business, requiring specialist machinery to repair and replace. This requires an extra level of skill and experience in order to repair damage to wheels attached to run-flat tires. As a result, many wheel-repair shops won’t touch wheel repairs around run-flats - you would have to get a wheel repair as part of a full RFT replacement service. Which ends up being both expensive and unnecessary, as it is perfectly possible to repair a damaged wheel while keeping an RFT on - it just requires a bit more experience and skill.
As with most things, Salt City Wheels are different. Our highly-trained and experienced wheel repair technicians know their way around a run-flat, and will ensure that your wheel is restored to the pinnacle of vehicular perfection, without damage to your neighboring run-flats.
How do we do this, you may ask? We do what’s called breaking the bead - we keep the tire on but we skillfully and with great care push it away from lip of the wheel in order to fully access the wheel. This might sound simple but in reality can easily result in further damage to both the wheel and the tire if it isn’t performed by an experienced wheel specialist. Salt City Wheels have perfected the art of breaking the bead without breaking anything else. The result is run-flats that keep running perfectly as before the service, while also maintaining the correct wheel balance, and of course wheels that look as perfect as the Automotive Gods (we’re talking to you, German automotive industry!) originally intended.
