Technical (for enthusiasts)

American Racing wheels have unique construction traits:

• Older Mag Alloy Wheels - Finicky metallurgy — requires precise heat management during straightening.
• Polished Aluminium Designs - Sensitive to sanding patterns and oxide removal techniques.
• Deep Spoke & Lip Geometry - Torq Thrust wheels require exact restoration of spoke curvature.
• Machined Face Finishes - Proper CNC lines must be restored to factory spec.
• Heavy Vehicle Load Ratings (4×4 & Ute) - Off-road wheels need heavy-duty straightening machinery.

Our processes ensure American Racing wheels return structurally sound and visually authentic.
