Expert Corrosion Repair and Restoration Service

Trust Kwicksilver Wheel Repair of Sacramento for efficient, effective, and competitively priced corrosion repairs to wheels and rims. Corrosion can be a common problem for chrome-plated wheels. When metals such as chrome, copper, and nickel develop small perforations and are exposed to moisture, corrosion is the result. Over time, the plating detaches from the wheel, allowing air to escape, and resulting in a flat tire. 

High-quality aluminum is hard to electroplate because aluminum is an active metal that instantly forms an oxide skin – and oxides cannot be plated. 

Fix-a-flat tire sealants are highly corrosive. We don’t recommend their use. We’ve seen these products corrode chrome-plated, powder-coated, painted, and bare aluminum wheels. Fortunately, we’re usually able to restore these corroded wheels to full function. 

If you can’t avoid using a sealant like this, have the tire dismounted as soon as possible to find the underlying problem and have it repaired. Then, thoroughly clean and dry the inside of the tire and wheel before re-mounting.
