How much would it cost me to change my tire rims? They’re a little cracked and they look pretty bad, but I’m worried that it will be really expensive to replace them.

Changing and replacing your tire rims can cost anywhere from $200 to $500 per wheel, or $800 to $2,000 for your entire car. The exact price of the service will depend on the kind of car you drive and the shop that you choose, but it’s unlikely that you’ll find a shop that will replace them for less than $200.
If your tire rims are just slightly cracked or scratched, though, it’s possible that they can be
repaired rather than replaced. In this case, you could pay significantly less, sometimes as little as $75 per wheel. To learn more about your options, talk to your mechanic about the problem.

The procedure for servicing cars at tire change stations can take a different amount of time. The exact figure depends on the equipment present and the professionalism of the master. On average, changing the wheels of a car at a tire fitting stretches for 20-30 minutes, in the absence of a serious workload of personnel.
Contents
In some cases, the installation procedure can take an hour or more. The exact figure will depend on the type of work performed.
Experienced specialists take no more than 5-10 minutes for the entire car. If you put new skates on the wheels, you need to count on at least an hour. The usual replacement of finished wheels is faster. A savvy master can change all discs in a few minutes.
The need for repairs also affects the efficiency of work. In some situations (vulcanization is required), the procedure may take a day.
Service stations and tire shops in Russia always try to work as quickly as possible. The salary of the master directly depends on the number of clients. Usually the procedure for changing a set of tires from summer to winter does not take more than one hour.
Waiting time can be increased by factors that do not affect the immediate speed of the specialist's work - this is the queue and customer requirements.
Installation of summer tires is more difficult for the master than winter tires. This is argued by the increased rigidity of the rubber. Dense sidewalls are difficult to put on discs, which requires great physical effort.
This difference will not be noticeable to the user. Experienced technicians know how to properly place a product on the machine for fast assembly.
To facilitate the process of changing tires and speed up service, you can foresee a few points in advance and not wait in a huge queue.
For complete confidence, you can give the mechanics an advance payment of 30-50% of the total cost of service. Leave a review
In spring and autumn, the seasonal change of tires presents the driver with a choice: what is preferable - to have a set of tires and rims for each season (summer tires + rims / winter tires + rims) or to have only one set of rims and change every six months? In this article I want to consider the pros and cons of both options.
At the beginning of my driving career, I often heard that: “Tires deteriorate quickly when they are frequently beaded!” At first I believed. Then I thought about whether the words of “garage uncle Vasya”, uttered by him fifty years ago, are still relevant now?
Indeed, 50…70 years ago rubber was beaded with crowbars, sledgehammers and tire irons. Manually. I saw how drivers did it on their Zhiguli, Muscovites, Volga, etc. But the rubber itself then was not at all the same as now. I remember it was divided into "Moskvichevskaya", "Zhigulevskaya", "Volgovskaya". Of course, with such a cave method of overboarding, both rubber and disks deteriorated.
Now everything has changed dramatically! The quality, elasticity and design of the tires are completely different! And the equipment of tire shops is also qualitatively different. Given that you need to bead a set of tires only once every six months, then in order to cause at least some slightest harm to the tire, you will have to “spoil it” for fifty years.
And even more. Yes, during this period she will fall apart from old age, even if she does not ride at all!
I also thought about such a thing. What rubber suffers more (receives more shock, compression and stretching)? From pits, potholes, rails and other delights of our roads? From daily killing for many kilometers, and even at speeds of 60 ... 100, or even higher?
Or from overboarding every six months on modern equipment? Try to estimate the loads from hitting the edge of the pit at a speed of 90 km / h, when the disk simply bends or breaks.
I have never seen discs bent from over-beading on quality equipment in the hands of a skilled craftsman. Yes, this can not be in principle! It is clear that the possible damage from “torture on the road” for rubber cannot be compared with a high-quality overboard once every six months.
That is, a set (tires + wheels) for summer and a complete set for winter. I practiced this option in the years when I drove VAZ cars (2106 and 21083). The prices for domestic tires and wheels were relatively low, and I could store the second set on my balcony. He put the tires in a corner in a flat stack. I put a square board on top, covered it with an old tablecloth, and it turned out to be an excellent table for flowers or something.
I began to practice this option after I moved to foreign cars. I switched to this method not only because of the sharply increased cost of disks. However, they are larger in size. And I began to buy better tires for them, from the top three brands according to the test results.
