Do not judge the wheel by the scratch alone
Low-profile Ferrari tires leave the rim exposed to curbs and sharp road impacts. A wheel can look lightly marked but still have a distorted inner barrel. It can also look badly scraped while remaining structurally sound. We check the visible face, inner barrel, bead seating area, runout, tire sidewall and air-loss history.
If the steering shakes, the car pulls, pressure drops repeatedly or a warning appears after an impact, avoid high speed. A cracked wheel, damaged tire sidewall or severe bend can become unsafe. Recovery is the safer choice when the tire will not hold pressure or the wheel shows a serious crack.
