Alloy Wheel Diamond Cutting
Refacing modern alloys.
Diamond cut alloys are becoming more popular and many manufacturers are fitting them as standard. Often recogniseable by their shiny, raw-metal face whilst the rest of the wheel is painted.
They can be very expensive to replace if they’re damaged or corroded. Our brand new state of the art CNC diamond turning lathe can remanufacture your alloy wheels to the highest standard at a fraction of the cost of a new wheel.
All diamond-cut wheels come with a full 6-month warranty.

FAQs
How can I tell if my alloys are diamond cut?
Diamond cut alloys are very shiny in appearance compared to conventionally painted alloy wheels. Usually if there are 2 colours on the wheel, its most likely a diamond cut alloy wheel. The most popular variation of these have black inside the spokes and silver on the front, as seen in the image.
Can all diamond cut alloy wheels be re-cut?
We need to see every wheel in person either loose or on the car, to make a decision if it’s safe and possible to cut the wheel again. Usually there is enough to re-cut the wheels a couple of times from new, but if not don’t worry, we can always offer a full colour powder coated option to the wheel in one of our many colours.
How durable is a diamond cut alloy wheel?
Corrosion is the most common cause of diamond cut wheels failing. This is because there is only one layer of protection between aluminium and the outside elements. This can be seen as a milky/cloudy appearance between the clear coat and the face of the wheel. The smallest stone chip can start the ingress of water, underneath the coating leading it to fail.
If I leave my wheels will they get worse?
If left in the open without re coating once damaged the wheel will deteriorate over time. If later a customer wants to change to a full colour, the damage caused by the corrosion can often be seen in fine silvers and light greys as small marks that are actually heavy corrosion, eaten into the casting.
How does it work?
The alloy wheels go through the same process as a conventional powder coated alloy wheel refurbishment, but after the initial colour is fully cured, it’s taken out the oven and allowed to cool naturally.
It’s then fitted to our Tema X-tron and plotted into the computer before removing a thin layer of the base metal, to reveal the highly polished aluminium underneath (like a CD).
The complete wheel is then fully re-masked on the rear and silicone plugs are fitted in the bolt holes. A clear coat is then applied using the same acrylic lacquer as used when originally manufactured.
