You might think that your dented or cracked wheel is only an aesthetic problem and little cause for concern, however, it might need to be repaired or replaced due to potential safety risks.

As the part of your vehicle that directly comes into contact with the road, the wheels, and especially the tires, experience higher levels of wear and tear than other parts of your vehicle. Besides the tires eventually smoothening out and losing grip as a result of everyday use, the wheels can also get damaged if you accidentally mount a curb or drive over a pothole. Depending on the level of damage, it might be necessary to get the wheels replaced rather than just aligned. This is because such damage could result in problems like improper tracking, bad handling, unwanted vibrations that might affect the suspension in the long run, as well as the inability of the tire to hold air.

Once you have bought replacements for your wheels and tires, you can take some important steps to prolong their lifespan. One would of course be safe driving. Another important measure would be proper installation; overly tight or loose wheel nuts may lead to cracks in the wheel.
