Hubcap & Wheel

Description

Hubcap & Wheel utilizes the newest technology with a purpose built precision wheel straightening machine that was purchased in 2006. Our straightening experience began in 1997 with a machine we built ourselves. However the new Lehigh equipment with our proprietary modifications has greatly increased our consistency in repairs and generated a quicker turn-around that usually allows us to provide the next-day reshipment or pickup that our customers have grown to expect. Early drop off for basic straightening by our local customers is rewarded with same day afternoon pickup on most repairs.

Hubcap & Wheel offers precision aluminum alloy wheel repairs and alloy wheel straightening on wheels of up to 26" and high strength TiG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas welding) to repair cracks in alloy wheels of any size. We have offered precision wheel straightening and wheel repair since 1998. with one day turn around on most bent wheel repairs. We provide original wheel covers and refurbished factory wheels since 1994.

Wheels are gently heated in the areas to be worked to that critical "sweet spot" that allows the metal to be worked, while staying below the melting point. The softened metal at the bent point of the wheel is moved slowly back to the normal arc. Care is taken not to overheat the alloy. Our years of experience have taught us how to recognize and deal with the nuances of working with the forged and various qualities of cast wheels used in production today. The hydraulic ram is used with the appropriate custom straightening dies to slowly bring the bend back to the original specifications.
