Evaluating Damage
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Hummer H2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
- Inspect the wheel for corrosion, scrapes, gouges, etc. Damage MUST NOT be deeper than what can be sanded or polished off.
- Inspect the wheel for cracks. If cracks are found, discard the wheel.
- ALL wheels with bent rim flanges must not be repaired or refinished.
- The re-machining and the re-clear coating of aluminum wheels is not recommended in the dealer environment due to concerns of repair durability.
- Do not use any re-machining process that removes aluminum. This could affect the dimensions and function of the wheel.
