Rim damage during tire removal is often blamed on a worn mounting head. In reality, the problem is usually the plastic inserts. These inserts act as a crucial barrier between the metal mounting head and the rim. If they are worn out or broken, metal will contact metal, causing scratches, dents, or chipped paint.
Replacing these inserts is a small task that can save you significant costs and frustration. Repairing or repainting a damaged rim can easily cost €75 to €150 per rim, and for expensive alloy wheels, the price can be even higher. On top of that, you risk dissatisfied customers and damage to your workshop’s reputation due to poor finishing.
