Hi

I have purchased a set of alloys which are diamond cut with polished lips.

I've contacted a few places, and they've told me they can't refurb these as they will not go on their machines.

I believe the wheels are two way split welded.

Question is, what's the best way to sort out the centre blemishes?

This guy came highly recommended to me for my Porsche diamond cut wheels.

I'm very happy to pass on the recommendation having used him, free pickup and dropoff, loan wheels if required, very cheap tyres if needed and a superb job at a great price, what more can you ask?

Diamond alloys in Northolt; happy to do both split rims and diamond cutting.

Their work is excellent.

yep, Lepsons are great.Give them a call.
Not a fan of diamond cut and clear. Unless you get a good company fitting the tyres they tear up the edge of the clear coat on the edge of the wheel and water starts creeping in and you get problems.Not so bad if they are show car or little used.
You could always get the rim done in an almost chrome look paint and the centre in the different colour of a more regular silver to contrast.

Chris at Exel uses Lepsons for the refurb anyway, he delivers & collects & does the QC.

Or Platinum in Swindon. http://www.platinumwheelrefurb.com/

They did a great job with my non diamond cut wheels but were happy to do diamond cut for extra money.

Thank you for your reply guys.

I have just emailed the suggestions.

I have already tried Diamond alloys in Northolt. They didn't want to know - said it were impossible for them to do them.

They are welded from factory so don't split. Like a few other Japanese wheels.
