DIAMOND CUT ALLOY WHEEL REFURBISHMENT

Diamond Cut alloy wheels, also known as polished rims, are a premium design, first released in the 1980s and were super rare until the early 2000s. Diamond cut wheels are particularly noticeable by the two tone finish, see the picture to the right. 

When getting diamond cut wheels refurbished, the standard alloy wheel refurbishment procedure is followed, where the wheel is dipped in acid, sandblasted and then fully painted. Prior to applying lacquer, the wheel is placed in a Diamond Cut machine, where the machine is programmed to profile the angle and shape of the wheel. The machine then runs a diamond tip past the face of the wheel, whilst the wheel spins. See a video of a wheel being placed in the diamond cut machine being refurbished below. 

Once cut, the wheel is then given a final coating, using a lacquer clear coat which can be either matt, satin or gloss!

 At the Alloy Refurb Centre, we use state of the art diamond cut machines, designed and manufactured by engineers here in the UK. Our machines are super precise and use laser-technology to profile wheels. We specially trained in the operation of the machines so that our staff have the skills needed to produce factory level finishes.
