It's been a while since you've replaced your wheels. But, how do you know when it's the right time to change them out for new ones? There are several signs you can look for that will let you know when the time is right, such as:

• Structural damage: If your wheels have severe structural damage such as large cracks, bends, or breaks, it may be necessary to replace them. Structural damage can compromise the integrity and safety of the wheel, and attempting repairs may not be feasible or safe.
• Irreparable damage: If the damage to your wheels is extensive and cannot be repaired effectively, it may be more cost-effective to replace them. For example, if the wheels have sustained significant curb rash, corrosion, or other forms of damage that cannot be adequately repaired, replacement may be necessary.
• Safety concerns: If your wheels have been damaged in a way that poses a safety risk, such as a bent wheel affecting the balance or alignment of your vehicle, it may be necessary to replace them to ensure safe operation. Driving on damaged wheels can affect the handling, stability, and braking performance of your vehicle, posing a risk to you and others on the road.
• Wear and tear: Wheels, like other vehicle components, can experience wear and tear over time. If your wheels have become excessively worn, corroded, or have reached the end of their lifespan, it may be time to consider replacing them to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.
• Upgrading or customization: If you are looking to upgrade your vehicle's wheels for performance, aesthetics, or other reasons, purchasing new wheels may be necessary. Upgrading to different wheel sizes, styles, or materials may require purchasing new wheels that are specifically designed for your desired customization.
• It's important to have your wheels inspected by a professional if you suspect they may be damaged or in need of replacement. And luckily, Split Rock Auto has a whole team ready to help.
