Often, you need to take a fair amount of preventative measures to protect your wheels, including avoiding certain car washes with alignment rails, for example. Winter driving can be particularly harsh on your wheels, because of the amount of salt spread on the roads which can cause corrosion. It is important to care for your wheels in these conditions by rinsing them off at least once per week.
Alloy wheel repairs can be relatively simple, or they can be more involved, but you will not know for sure until you have the shop examine your wheels to give you an idea of the price.
