Finish Damage Evaluation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Sunfire and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect the wheels for damage from uncoated wheel balance weights or from automatic car wash facilities.
  2. Inspect the wheels for the following conditions:
    • Corrosion
    • Scrapes
    • Gouges
  3. Verify the damage is not deeper than what sanding can remove.
  4. Inspect the wheels for cracks. If a wheel has cracks, discard the wheel.
  5. Inspect the wheels for bent rim flanges. If a rim flange is bent, discard the wheel.
