Mercedes-Benz and AMG wheels come in many finishes: painted silver, gloss black, bi-colour, and machined or diamond-cut faces. Tight Dubai parking, high kerbs and low-profile tyres make kerb rash very common, and road salt from the coast plus summer heat can lift the lacquer and start corrosion under it. At Orange Auto in Al Quoz and Nad Al Hamar we assess each wheel, repair the damage and refinish it in a finish that suits the original, so your Mercedes looks right again.
More than looksA bent wheel can cause vibration at speed and slow air leaks, and corrosion at the bead seat can stop the tyre sealing properly. On cars with run-flat or low-profile tyres, a damaged rim also puts the tyre at risk. That is why we check every wheel for runout and cracks before any cosmetic work.
We remove the wheel and check for kerb rash, lacquer peel, corrosion, buckles and cracks, inside and out.
Bends that are safe to repair are straightened and checked for runout. If a wheel is too badly damaged, we tell you it should be replaced.
Kerb damage is filled and shaped, and corrosion is stripped back to clean metal so the new finish lasts.
Cracks are judged case by case. Some small cracks can be repaired; cracks in the spokes or near the hub mean the wheel should be replaced for safety.
We paint or powder coat to suit the original colour, or to a new colour if you prefer. Diamond-cut faces need machining, which we discuss with you when quoting.
A clear protective layer helps the finish resist brake dust, UV and washing.
Tyres are refitted and balanced, wheel bolts are torqued correctly and the tyre pressure monitoring is checked.
Most kerb rash and corrosion is repairable. Cracked spokes or severe buckles are not, and we will say so before you pay for refinishing.
Silver, gloss black, grey and bi-colour AMG designs each need a different approach. Tell us if you want one wheel matched or all four refreshed.
Check the wheel and the alignment. See our Mercedes wheel alignment service.
If the tyres are worn, it makes sense to replace them while the wheels are off. See Mercedes tyre replacement.
