Hi all.

Am looking at a car where there are 3 currently available in the spec I want.

As standard (with the optional extra) the wheels come diamond cut, with black centres.

One of cars has it that way. Another has been refurbed all black, and another refurbed all plain silver. I don't mind silver but they look to have chips etc. anyway so would be looking at getting the wheels refurbed again if I was to go for either of those two cars.

Is it an easy enough process for a company to refurb wheels back to diamond cut? I have used a good local company before for refurbs so happy to have a chat with them... but opinions here first would be great smile

Thanks for the input. It's only a Citroen... I'm not even a massive fan of diamond cut, but I just want them to look standard. I did consider going anthracite, but I'm not sure. Maybe I'm better off having a chat with my local specialists. At least I know it can be done now! Which means it's not a limiting factor when looking for a new car smile cheers all.

These are the wheels in question:

I appreciate they're nothing that special, but I do think they look better like that than the plain resprayed ones I've seen. I could just buy the above; they look in pretty good condition.

I'm not sure they'd really be any more durable that way. I knew someone that had 'chrome' wheels and after a while they basically started flaking... and these were brand new; not refurbished!

Yes those are one of the better OEM offerings. There's the exact same car down my street and always thinks it looks top!
