Alloy Wheels are created of material that could easily be damaged but frequently may also be readily fixed. Car and motor bike makers prefer to use alloy wheels because they seem better in relation to the steel variations. As a result the finished vehicle looks finer and certainly will sell for a higher cost!
The disadvantage is that the alloys used for these forms of wheel are also softer than steel so they're more prone to Mint Alloys damage, making them look scruffy and unattractive. As a result, when you come to sell a vehicle with damaged alloy wheels you'll either get you'll find a lower price harder to find a buyer or offered it than you expected to get. The damaged wheels will make a prospective buyer think you've not looked following the vehicle correctly and there might be other damage that isn't so invisible.
How much difference does it make? Well, from my contacts in the motor trade the difference between a car with damaged alloys and the same auto with showroom condition alloys is usually GBP500 to GBP1000! Oh, and the one with damaged wheels will take more time to sell.
So aside from making motor bike or your car look scruffy damaged alloy wheels can also hit you in the pocket! Even if you rent your vehicle instead and don't own it you will be penalised at the end of the lease term. The first thing a vehicle inspector finds when they assess your vehicle in the conclusion of a lease are the wheels. You will end up paying for them anyway if they're damaged. Thus, in summation, whether you lease or own your vehicle it is worth it to look after your wheels and get alloy repaired should they get damaged.
