Curb Rash and Wheel Repair in Memphis: Make Your Wheels Look New Again
Curb rash is one of the most common wheel problems we see in Memphis, and it is also one of the most fixable. A scrape against a curb on Summer Avenue or in a crowded parking lot can leave gouges that make a good wheel look worn. At 360 Wheel Repair, our technicians restore wheels to a clean, original look with professional refinishing.
What Damage Can We Repair?
We handle the most common wheel damage in the Memphis area, including:
Curb Rash
Deep scrapes and scuffs along the outer lip of the wheel.
Bent Wheels
Wheels bent from potholes, speed bumps, or road debris when the bend is safe to straighten.
Cracked Wheels
Inspected carefully, with a clear recommendation about whether repair is safe.
Corrosion & Oxidation
Dull, pitted, or discolored finishes on aluminum and alloy wheels.
Scratches & Scuffs
Minor cosmetic damage from everyday driving.
Our Wheel Refinishing Process
Every repair starts with an inspection. We check the wheel for structural damage, measure the depth of the damage, and confirm the wheel's material and finish. We then explain what the repair involves and what it costs. Once you approve, our technicians prepare the surface, repair the damage, and refinish the wheel with modern equipment. The result is a smooth, consistent finish that matches the original look.
Why Refinishing Beats Replacement
A new OEM wheel can cost hundreds of dollars or more, depending on the vehicle. Repairing a damaged wheel is often a fraction of that cost. We would rather save you money on a wheel that can be fixed than sell you a new one that you do not need. When a wheel cannot be repaired safely, we will tell you so and explain why.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is curb rash, and can it be repaired?
Curb rash is damage to the outer lip of a wheel caused by scraping against a curb or other edge. Most curb rash can be repaired with sanding, filling, and refinishing. We will inspect your wheel and confirm the repair before we start.
Can a bent wheel be straightened?
Some bent wheels can be straightened safely, and others cannot. We check the wheel for structural integrity. If straightening is safe, we will explain the process and the cost. If it is not, we will recommend replacement.
Do you repair cracked alloy wheels?
We inspect every cracked wheel carefully. Cracks in the wheel structure affect safety, so we tell you honestly whether the wheel is repairable. We never recommend a repair we do not believe is safe.

Repair often costs a fraction of the price of a new OEM wheel. The exact difference depends on the wheel and the damage, so we provide a quote specific to your vehicle.
