Common cosmetic damage
Cosmetic kerb marks and scuffs
Kerb damage is one of the most common reasons drivers enquire about alloy refurbishment. Scratches and scuffs around the rim can make an otherwise tidy car look worn, even when the wheel is still usable.
Our cosmetic service focuses on restoring the visible finish of suitable wheels. We assess the wheel before advising on the amount of preparation and refinishing needed.
Scratched painted wheels
Damage to paint or lacquer that may require refinishing to achieve an even appearance.
Marks on diamond-cut faces
Machined finishes need separate assessment; not all wheels can be recut.

How to photograph kerb damage
- Take one picture of the entire wheel in daylight.
- Take close-ups of the damaged rim or spokes.
- Tell us whether the wheel is painted, powder-coated or diamond cut, if known.
- Include your vehicle make/model and whether you want a matching finish or colour change.
If the wheel is cracked, visibly bent, losing air or causing vibration, do not assume it is only cosmetic. Avoid driving on a wheel you suspect is unsafe and arrange an appropriate inspection.

Frequently asked questions
Can kerb marks be repaired without replacing the wheel?
Many cosmetic scuffs can be improved through suitable preparation and refinishing, but an inspection is needed to confirm the wheel is appropriate for the work.
Can you match the original wheel colour?
We can discuss colour matching and the practical limitations of different finishes. The result depends on the original coating and condition.
Is a scratched wheel safe to drive on?
A superficial scratch is different from a crack or bend, but photos alone cannot establish roadworthiness. If you suspect structural damage, do not drive on the wheel until it has been assessed.
