Were they all diamond cut?

Are these the ones that are diamond cut?

Considering alloy insurance but it excludes diamond cut and need to know if these are ...

I think they were all diamond turned originally but you may see some that have been painted since when refurbed. On my previous V8V they were diamond turned with silver painted innards (so maybe not obvious that they are diamond turned in photos) which was a common colour scheme although you will see some with graphite or black painted innards.

If untouched they are originally diamond cut. Mine had been refurbished in silver before I had them re-done in Anthracite.

These are my Sport Pack alloys,(V8V) with diamond cut. As far as I know, (I might be wrong, they could have done an original DB9 with no diamond cut???) but the Sports Pack alloys for my car came with a diamond cut.

I had my front nearside re-furbished last year (a slight altercation with a high kerb furious) and they re diamond cut the alloy as new. I suppose someone, could have the set re-furbished and not ask for the diamond cut.....but why would you??

Just out of curiosity, how much would cost to refurbish them (to original spec, I mean)?

Thanks

Obviously, it all depends where you take them. I think it cost me through the dealer, about £150 for the one wheel.(however, that was stripping it down and getting it to the re-furbisher and then re-fitting it to my car)

You could find it cheaper somewhere, possibly £500 for all 4, maybe less/more?? A bit of research required I think?

These wheels were always diamond-turned on the spoke facings and rim edge. The inner wheel was silver on the Sport Pack option you could have on '09MY V8s and '07MY DB9s, but gunmetal on the V8 Vantage N400 edition and DB9 Le Mans edition.

thanks, based in south west-london so 150/wheel it sounds what I was expecting = high!
