Wheels

Wheel offset is the gap between the centre of your wheel and where it attaches to your car. It might sound technical, but it’s important because it affects how your car drives and looks. If the offset isn’t correct, the wheels might rub against parts of the car or stick out too far. Plus, it could lead to extra wear and tear on the suspension. Not sure what offset you need? Tyrepower can help you pick the right wheels to match your vehicle perfectly.

Wheel balancing ensures the weight of your tyres and wheels is evenly spread out. This helps prevent those annoying shakes and helps your tyres last longer. If your wheels are unbalanced, you might notice shaking in the steering wheel or feel a wobble throughout the car, especially at high speeds. This could lead to uneven tyre wear and even damage your suspension over time. At Tyrepower, we balance your wheels using advanced tools so everything runs smoothly.

You should have your wheels balanced at least every 2 to 3 years or 10,000km of driving. Other signs include feeling vibrations in the steering wheel, the seat, or even the floor, particularly at higher speeds. Another sign to watch out for is if your tyre wheel assembly shows uneven wear. Leaving these issues unchecked can lead to more serious problems like premature tyre wear and even damage to your car’s suspension. It’s best to get your wheels balanced regularly or as soon as you notice any of these symptoms. Our Tyrepower experts can sort out your wheel balance in no time.

Wheel alignment is the act of putting the wheels of your car at the correct angles as recommended by its manufacturer. This helps to ensure that your tyres wear evenly, improves the handling of the car, and may even help you use less fuel. If your wheels are misaligned, you may find that your car drifts to one side or your tyres wear unevenly. You might not even notice it at first, but if this continues, it can cause more problems down the road. If you encounter any of these problems, then it is high time you visited Tyrepower for an alignment check.

A standard wheel alignment may take between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the car model and its status. While doing this, the technician will be able to set the right angles of your wheels, such as the camber, caster and toe, among others. If your car needs a little bit of work, for example, if you need suspension work, then it may take a bit longer. At Tyrepower, we guarantee that we will get the job done right the first time around so you can be back driving quickly.

Yes, it’s smart to get a wheel alignment when you put on new tyres or choose a wheel and tyres package. This helps them wear evenly and perform their best right from the start. If you skip the alignment, your new tyres could wear down too quickly or affect how your car drives. At Tyrepower, we can take care of both the alignment and balancing, so your new tyres are perfectly set up for safety and performance.

If your tyres are still in good condition, but your car is pulling to one side, or the tyres are wearing unevenly, get an alignment first. However, if your tyres are worn out, damaged, or more than 10 years old, it is advisable to replace them before having a wheel alignment. This way, your new tyres will be set up correctly from the beginning. Our Tyrepower team can help you determine what is best for you, depending on the condition of your tyres and alignment.

Choosing the right wheels and tyres for your car comes down to a few things, like size, offset, and bolt pattern. At Tyrepower, we have an extensive selection of wheels for all types of cars. You can search for wheels using our handy tool or ask one of our experts for advice. Whether you’re after a sleek new look or need something functional, we can help you find the right wheels.

To repair scratched wheels, we first clean the surface and smooth out any rough spots. For deeper scratches, we sand them to smooth the surface. After that, we’ll paint or refinish the area so it looks like the rest of the wheel. For bigger problems like cracks, it might be better to replace the wheel. All you need to do is bring your wheel to Tyrepower, and we will assist you.

Yes, wheel repair is worth it, especially for small scratches, curb damage or minor dents. It costs less than buying new wheels and can restore your wheels to near new condition. It is also more efficient than a replacement because it takes less time and effort to do so. Tyrepower can check your wheels and then inform you if repair is possible.
