Kia Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists
Kia wheels have evolved into premium, highly stylised designs, especially across the latest SUV, hybrid and EV ranges. Across the Kia lineup — Sportage, Sorento, Seltos, EV6, Niro, Carnival, Cerato, Cerato GT, Stinger — wheel designs often feature:
- Diamond-cut or machined bi-tone finishes
- Gloss black, satin black, graphite, silver & EV-specific metallics
- Geometric, turbine, or multi-spoke modern patterns
- Large SUV/EV wheels (18”–21”)
- Performance-oriented GT & Stinger alloys
Diamond-cut Kia wheels, especially from the new Sportage/Sorento generation, frequently suffer clearcoat breakdown. EVs like EV6 and Niro use efficiency-focused wheel designs that must be restored accurately to maintain aerodynamics.
At Alloy Wheel Repair, we restore Kia wheels to true factory finish, using precision CNC machining and durable refinishing methods.
