Damage to a vehicle's wheels and brakes can occur from collisions, but is much more severe when caused by wheelslip, wheelslide and derailments.
Wheels also accumulate small damage from distance traveled, as part of their regular wear and tear. Likewise, using mechanical brakes contributes to the wear too.
The more the wheels and brakes of a vehicle are damaged, the more banging noise they produce when rolling. However, damage to wheels and brakes does not otherwise affect performance of vehicles, or pose any risk.
Damaged wheels and brakes can be serviced.
