Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? Read our FAQs section below or feel free to call us at 1-800-941-6400 or 937-291-2332 and speak with an ACU-TRU ® certified representative. Your rim is safe with us.
Do you paint wheels and used rims?
Yes! Our facility repairs and refinishes wheels of all varieties everyday. We have certified painters on staff ready to match any painted finish you may have.
Can any and every wheel and rim be repaired?
No, every wheel cannot be fixed, but most can. Welding and re-machining a rim usually costs $145.00. There is no charge for wheels we cannot fix.
Is the wheel weakened by the straightening process?
Rarely. Studies have shown that the ACU-TRU ® wheel straightening process actually strengthens the temperment of the wheel. With 15 years or wheel straightening experience, you can be sure that your wheel will come out like new at The Wheel Warehouse Inc.
Why don't you use a lathe to get perfect runout?
Some others wheel companies get a wheel close and than machine the bead down to get "perfect" runout. We don't recommend the process for two reasons.
1. Removing material to get better runout gives you a thinner wheel, which can be prone to fracturing and can obviously only be done a few times. Wheels repaired with our process can be repaired again and again. Just ask some of the stunt riders we sponsor. Those guys know how to bend a wheel.
2. Using a lathe tends to be a quick fix for a big problem sometimes resulting in safety hazards for you and your family.
Who do you recomend to ship wheels and rims through?
We use UPS.
