Every Style. Every Finish.
Carolina Wheel Werkz provides professional alloy wheel repair and refinishing for customers throughout Raleigh, Wake Forest, Youngsville, Franklinton, Louisburg, Henderson, Durham, Oxford, and surrounding areas.
Our shop is located in Franklinton, North Carolina, where we perform wheel straightening, curb-rash and cosmetic repair, powder coating, CNC-machined face refinishing, crack repair when structurally appropriate, tire mounting and balancing, and road-force balancing.
Potholes and road impacts can bend the inner or outer barrel of an alloy wheel, causing vibration, tire wear, air-loss concerns, or difficulty balancing the assembly.
We inspect the wheel for runout and damage, then use controlled hydraulic straightening techniques when the wheel is considered repairable. Because every damaged wheel is different, structural condition is evaluated before repair.
For scratched, scraped, or curb-damaged wheels, Carolina Wheel Werkz offers cosmetic spot repair as well as complete wheel refinishing.
Minor cosmetic damage can often be repaired using a localized spot-refinishing process. Wheels with extensive finish damage, peeling clear coat, corrosion, or customers wanting a complete color change may be better candidates for full refinishing or powder coating.
CNC-machined wheels require a different refinishing process when the original machined appearance must be restored, and machining is quoted separately from standard cosmetic repair.
For customers wanting a complete restoration or color change, wheels can be stripped and refinished using automotive-grade powder-coating systems.
Because factory wheel finishes vary considerably, exact OEM color matching cannot always be guaranteed. We can recommend finishes designed to closely reproduce the appearance of many factory silver, graphite, black, bronze, and specialty wheel colors.
Many of our customers make the short drive from Raleigh and surrounding communities because wheel repair is the primary focus of our business.
Whether you need a bent wheel straightened, curb damage repaired, a machined wheel refinished, or a complete powder-coat color change, Carolina Wheel Werkz can evaluate the wheel and recommend the appropriate repair process.
Professional alloy wheel repair and refinishing — straightening, curb-rash repair, powder coating, and CNC-machined refinishing from our Franklinton shop.
This Mercedes-Benz wheel came in from a Raleigh-area customer with severe structural damage. The wheel had a significant bend that caused vibration and was unsafe to drive on.
Using our professional wheel straightening process, we restored the wheel safely without machining or weakening its structure. This example shows the straightening process we use when a wheel is considered repairable.
From minor curb rash to full refinishing — we handle every type of alloy wheel damage with precision and speed.
Road damage and curb strikes are no match for our refinishing process. We sand, fill, and refinish damaged wheel edges with a finish appropriate to the repair.
Complete wheel refinishing with exact OEM color matching. Your wheels will look better than the day you drove off the lot.

"Bobby is a master of his craft. My wheels had severe curb rash and he made them look brand new. Fast turnaround and fair pricing!"
"Found Carolina Wheel Werkz after a bad pothole in Durham. They straightened my rim perfectly. No more vibration at high speeds!"
"Best powder coating in the triangle. I went with a custom satin black and the finish is flawless. Highly recommend!"
Avoiding curb strikes starts with awareness. Use your side mirrors when parallel parking and consider rim protectors for high-end wheels. If you do hit a curb, our curb rash repair service can restore the finish quickly.
Most minor bends on the inner barrel are perfectly safe to straighten. Using our Zetamak, Nitromak, and Katool hydraulic precision straighteners, we restore the wheel's true roundness without compromising structural integrity. Severe cracks may require TIG welding or replacement.
Powder coating offers a much more durable finish than traditional liquid paint. It's more resistant to heat, road salt, and brake dust, making it the ideal choice for wheel refinishing in North Carolina's varied climate.
