A cracked or damaged rim isn't just an eyesore—it’s a major safety hazard. Whether you hit a deep pothole or caught a curb the wrong way, structural damage to your wheels can lead to air leaks, tire blowouts, and poor handling.

At Weld Authority, we specialize in professional TIG welding services designed to restore the integrity of your aluminum and alloy wheels without the cost of a full replacement.

We don't just "patch" wheels; we fuse them back to factory-level strength. Our welders are experts in handling the unique thermal properties of automotive alloys.

• Hairline Crack Repair: Most common on the inner barrel, these cracks cause slow pressure loss. We grind, prep, and weld them to ensure a permanent seal.

• Pothole Damage & Fractures: Larger structural cracks require deep-penetration welding to ensure the wheel can handle the stresses of the road.

• Curb Rash & Chunk Rebuilding: If a piece of your rim is missing due to a heavy impact, we can rebuild the edge using filler rod and CNC-matching techniques.

• Bent Rim Reinforcement: After straightening a wheel, we inspect for stress fractures and weld any weakened areas to prevent future failure.

Our Proven Process

1. Inspection & Cleaning: We stripped away dirt and paint to reveal the full extent of the crack.

2. V-Grooving: We grind a "V" into the fracture. This ensures the weld penetrates the entire thickness of the metal, not just the surface.

3. TIG Welding: Using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, we apply precise heat and high-quality aluminum filler to create a bond stronger than the surrounding metal.

4. Cooling & Levelling: The weld is cooled slowly to prevent brittleness, then ground down smooth so it doesn't interfere with the tire bead.

5. Safety Testing: Every repaired wheel is pressure-tested to ensure it is 100% airtight.

Safety Note: Not every rim can be saved. If a crack extends into the spoke or the center bore, we will always prioritize your safety and advise on a replacement instead.
