McLaren Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists
McLaren wheels are among the most advanced in the world — engineered for extreme lightness, optimal rigidity and supercar-level aerodynamic efficiency. Their designs include ultra-light forged wheels, turbine-inspired blades, split 5-spokes, Y-spokes, directional aero designs, and highly specialised finishes such as stealth grey, gloss black, satin black, metallic silvers and diamond-cut accents.
Because McLaren wheels sit on extremely stiff suspension setups and use very low-profile tyres, even minor damage such as kerb rash, slight bends or stone chips becomes immediately noticeable and can affect performance. Repairs must be highly controlled to maintain wheel integrity, balance and weight consistency.
At Alloy Wheel Repair, we specialise in restoring McLaren supercar wheels using strict heat-controlled processes, CNC machining and OEM-accurate finishing systems.
Why McLaren Owners Choose Us

- Supercar-Level Quality Handling - Wheels from 540C to 720S and P1 receive premium protection and dedicated refinishing protocols.
- Performance Tolerance Compliance - Straightening, crack repair and machining performed to extremely tight tolerances.
- Lifetime Warranty on All Painted Finishes - Assurance for long-term supercar ownership.
Common McLaren Wheel Damage
- Kerb Rash on Lightweight Spokes - The razor-sharp edges of McLaren spokes show abrasions clearly.
- Stone Chips on Leading Edge Faces - High-speed aerodynamics push debris directly into wheel surfaces.
- Bent Rims From Road Impacts - Thin tyres + stiff suspension = buckles are common on NZ roads.
- Cracks in Forged Wheels - Hard impacts can stress thin forged sections, especially on track-driven cars.
- Diamond-Cut Corrosion - Moisture intrusion under the clearcoat can affect machined finishes.
Repair Types
- Kerb Rash & Cosmetic Refinishing - Restoring sharp, lightweight edges with exact shaping.

- Crack Repair & Certified Structural Welding - Inspected and repaired with strict safety protocols; suitable for high-performance use where appropriate.
- Diamond-Cut Wheel Restoration - True CNC machining to restore McLaren-specific cut angles, depth and reflectivity.
- Full Colour Refinishing & OEM Matching - Stealth grey, satin black, gloss black, metallic silver, forged-look and other McLaren colours.
- Corrosion & Clearcoat Failure Repair - Full stripping, preparation, repainting and clear sealing.
Technical (for enthusiasts)
McLaren wheels are engineered with extreme precision:
- Forged Aluminium or Hybrid Wheels - Require low-heat refinishing to prevent structural softening.
- Directional Spoke and Aero Designs - Machining, sanding and refinishing must preserve airflow characteristics.
- High-Speed Balance Requirements - Even slight imperfections can affect stability at supercar speeds.
- Large Carbon-Ceramic Brake Heat Exposure - Wheel coatings must endure extreme thermal cycling.
- Thin Barrel Construction for Weight Reduction - Straightening must be executed with highly accurate pressure distribution.
- Our processes ensure McLaren wheels retain their strength, balance, aerodynamic intent and showroom appearance.
