02 / The Shop

Built by hand, in Parma.

American Rim Repair is a specialty wheel shop in Parma, Ohio, run by owner Charles Watson. Curb rash, peeling clear coat, corrosion, or a full color change — every rim that comes through the shop is prepped, primed, and finished by hand, not pushed through a production line.

The workshop rule is simple: a wheel leaves indistinguishable from the day it was pressed, or it does not leave. That means no shortcuts, no rushed jobs, and an honest written quote before any work begins. It is the kind of considered work that has earned the shop its reputation across Greater Cleveland.

03 / Why Repair

Restore the wheel. Keep the money.

Replacing a scuffed or corroded rim means paying full price for a brand-new wheel when the one on your car can be brought back to like-new condition. For most cars, repair is the smarter call — on cost, on time, and on what it keeps out of the landfill.

A fraction of new

A single new OEM wheel runs $400 to $2,000, and a dealer rarely sells just one — order a matching set and the bill climbs fast. Refinishing the wheels you already own restores them to factory condition for a fraction of that, with no waiting on back-ordered parts.

Less waste

Every wheel we restore is one that stays out of the scrapyard. Cast aluminum and alloy rims take an enormous amount of energy to produce and ship; repairing the original keeps that material in service and the waste out of the landfill.

Just as strong

A properly repaired wheel is every bit as strong and true as a replacement. We straighten, fill, and refinish to spec, then balance before the wheel goes back on — so the only thing you notice is that the damage is gone.

04 / Process

Four steps, one wheel at a time.

Step 01

Inspect & quote

Wheels assessed, damage logged, and a clear written quote provided before any work begins.
Step 02

Strip & prep

Old finish removed, bare surface corrected, and curb rash gouges filled where required.
Step 03

Refinish by hand

Primed, colored, and cleared in your spec — factory match, gloss black, satin, or full custom.
Step 04

Mount & return

Tires remounted and balanced, then returned the same or next business day on most jobs.
Our standard

A wheel leaves the shop indistinguishable from the day it was pressed — or it does not leave.
