A rim, also known as a wheel rim, is the outer edge of a wheel that holds the tire in place. Rims can be made of various materials, including steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber. Replacing a rim can be necessary due to damage, wear, or aesthetic reasons. The cost of replacing a rim depends on several factors, such as the type of rim, the size of the rim, and the labor costs associated with the replacement.
Steel rims are typically the most affordable option, while aluminum rims are more expensive and carbon fiber rims are the most expensive. The size of the rim also affects the cost, with larger rims costing more than smaller rims. Labor costs can also vary depending on the complexity of the replacement and the location of the repair shop.
