đź”§ Elite Rim Repair & Wheel Straightening
Restore Performance, Safety & Style
At Elite Powder Coating & Paint Inc., our Rim Repair division focuses on rejuvenating damaged wheels so they look and perform like new. Known for precision craftsmanship and engineering-driven quality, we ensure your wheels not only shine but are safe and structurally sound.
1. Wheel Straightening
High-speed impacts or potholes can leave wheels bent or warped, causing uneven tire wear, vibrations, and handling issues. We use advanced straightening machines and techniques to return wheels to their original shape and balance—delivering a smooth drive and preserving suspension health (elitepcp.ca).
2. Crack Repair
Rim cracks can lead to air leaks or even structural failure. Our expert crack repair employs TIG welding and machining to seal fissures and restore integrity—bringing strength and reliability back to your wheels .
3. Cosmetic Restoration
Curb rash, chips, scuffs, and corrosion can ruin the look of your rims. We perform chemical stripping or sandblasting, smooth gouges with metal filler or welding, and restore factory-level finishes—matching OEM appearance with refined aesthetics
4. Premium Finishes & Upgrades
Beyond simple repairs, we offer services including:
- Powder Coating – Durable and vibrant, available in gloss, matte, textured, wrinkle, and candy finishes with thousands of colors—even custom-matches (eliterimrepair.com).
