American Factory Wheel in Santee has operated as an OEM factory wheel specialist on Magnolia Avenue since 2001, warehousing thousands of used and refurbished stock rims in alloy and steel for domestic and foreign vehicles. The facility ships OEM-matched wheels to collision centers, insurance adjusters, and dealerships across the country, and locally supplies Santee body shops including Fix Auto Santee on Prospect Avenue with factory-specification replacement rims for insurance-covered repairs. On-site services cover TIG welding for cracked alloy rims, curb rash refinishing, chrome re-plating, and hub cap and center cap sourcing, restoring damaged factory wheels to OEM visual and structural standards. A wholesale B2B portal provides volume pricing on the OEM rim inventory to tire retailers and body shops throughout East County, and Alvarez Tire on Woodside Avenue draws from the Magnolia Avenue warehouse for same-day wheel-and-tire pairing on customer vehicles. The TIG welding process uses argon-shielded tungsten inert gas at controlled amperage to achieve penetration depths rated for DOT-compliant structural repair on cast-aluminum alloy wheels with spoke-face and barrel-lip fractures.
