Alloy wheel damage on your Tesla? You're not alone in this. Just take a look at the wheels of parked Teslas; almost all of them have wheel damage! Teslas are often equipped with large, wide alloy wheels. This naturally gives the models a sporty appearance, but it also makes the rim edge more susceptible to curb damage. When parking or manoeuvring in tight corners, a light touch is often enough to cause damage. In this article, we'll show you the traditional options for wheel repair and also offer a new and cost-effective alternative: Recarfix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is definitely an eyesore! After a quick Google search or consulting ChatGPT, expensive repairs immediately pop up, or messing around with a touch-up pen. However, there is another option: alloy wheel patches from Recarfix.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLook at the Recarfix patches for Tesla here.<\/a>\n\n\n\n
