What’s New at Blackburn OEM Wheel Solutions?

What’s new at Blackburn OEM Wheel Solutions? Buckle up! There is a whole lot of excitement happening!

This past August, All Star Lighting acquired Blackburn OEM Wheel Solutions. All Star Lighting is a company that specializes in the reconditioning and distribution of automotive OEM headlights, fog lights, marker lights, taillights and side view mirrors. These products are provided in new aftermarket, new OEM or reconditioned OEM. These condition options nearly mirror Blackburn’s OEM wheel product offering. The lights are packaged in a box and supplied to body shops and repair facilities nationwide, as Blackburn OEM Wheel Solutions has done for years with OEM wheel products.

Last year, All Star decided to add a complimentary product line that could utilize their national distribution footprint and provide customers more of the same excellent service with a related product line, and OEM wheels seemed to be a natural fit. Today, All Star Lighting has transitioned to All Star Auto Parts, the premier provider of OEM Lighting and OEM Wheels nationwide. This journey began with the acquisition of Perfection Wheel in late 2021. The company, located in Huntington, Indiana, is a top-line OEM wheel reconditioning facility. Simultaneously, Jante Wheel was acquired, located in Knoxville Tennessee. This company is one of the largest OEM wheel replacement suppliers to the market. Fast forward to August 2022 when Blackburn OEM Wheel Solutions was added to the mix, forming the most complete OEM wheel provider in the country.

For those who may not be familiar with the OEM wheel portion of All Star, it is the premier supplier of OEM wheels, both steel and alloy for foreign and domestic automobiles and light trucks. Now with a significantly enhanced reconditioning process, inventory and distribution network, the company’s service to you will be second to none.

The Importance of Tire Inspection Before Repair

Myers Tire Supply experts caution that skipping the inspection step can have dangerous consequences.

When a customer comes into your shop with a tire puncture, taking the time to properly inspect it first may feel like an unnecessary hassle. However, tire repair experts caution that skipping this critical first step can have dangerous consequences.

"Whether it's a passenger, truck, or OTR tire, many technicians just want to pull the tire off. They want to find the object, get it out, put a patch on and get it going down the road,” says Rich Watts, a consultant with 38 years of experience at Myers Tire Supply. “However, that could be a dangerous tire to put back on the rim if you don't inspect for signs of run-flat damage or other problems."
