Watanabe Wheel Repair FAQ
Can you repair cracked Watanabe wheels?
Yes. We TIG-weld cracks in cast aluminum Watanabe wheels, machine the weld flush, and refinish so the repair is invisible and the wheel holds air.

Absolutely. Curb-rashed Watanabe wheels are our most common repair — we CNC-machine the lip, sand, and refinish to a factory or custom finish.
Do you powder coat Watanabe wheels?
Yes. We media-blast, outgas, and powder coat Watanabe wheels in any color, including two-tone and machined-face finishes.
Can I ship my Watanabe wheels to you?
