Straightening Wheels, Rims or Components

1. 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.

Do not weld the wheels for any reason.
