Do they still look good? I had mine redone 9 months ago, diamond cut with powder clear coat, they look like this : -



For £500 I was expecting them to last at least as long as the factory finish (10 years!).

I'm now looking at getting them done in one of these : -

I wanted to keep it factory but 9 months and the process can only be done twice! Then the wheels aren't even available any more....

This is what that PowderFX chrome looks like, did one today (excuse the overall finish, this is a training wheel, new lad started Monday)

And never put them back on except when the car is in some kind of display.

Fact that they can’t cope with road salt proves this wheel finish is a key part of evidence of endemic societal idiocy.


I’ve just had my diamond cut Porsche Sport Techno wheels coated in Porsche OB5 Platinum, gloss finish. Far better.

My wife’s Golf GTI wheels are in need of a refinish soon; I think shadow chrome or just plain old silver will do nicely.

Before and after pics perchance?

Our GLC is in dire need of the wheels refurbing due to the ste diamond cut finish they originally put on the wheels.

Am going shadow chrome powder coat next time (like this)

Really helpful,thanks. Do you have any more angles? Also, do you think a standard silver would be a different enough contrast if the chrome was on the face only like diamond cut?
