Straightening Wheels, Rims or Components

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Do not heat wheels in an attempt to soften them for straightening to repair damage from striking curbs. The special alloy used in these wheels is heat-treated and uncontrolled heating from welding affects the properties of the material.
  1. Do not weld the wheels for any reason.
