Refurbed Monza 2's

[Metty53]

Hi all. Would be interested to hear experience of refurbed monza 2's standing up to the elements - how long do they last with a diamond cut finish once refurbed?

Mine have not been done and at 9 years old are standing up remarkably well compared with many, but the limited kerbing and corrosion still bugs me and let's the rest of the car down. I'd ideally like to get them done. I'm just concerned they'll deteriorate quicker once they've been messed with by an aftermarket process.

Generally the finish is less reliable, also as they take another layer of metal off it can change the look of the wheels slightly.

I had the same issue with the Seattle shadows on my gtd, which are a nightmare due to their shape to recut.

In the end I went for smoked chrome powdercoat from the wheel specialist. They don't look the same but they do look very shiny and are not going to corrode unless damaged. It isnt actually chrome but a very shiny powder coat and looks nice.

I've had excellent results on diamond cut alloys (mostly R8 19s) from Diamond Wheels in Northolt.

Hi, i had all 4 of mine refurbished by a specialist company who is commonly recommended on Golf forums. After 6 months one of them was white worming again, and after 12 months 2 others were starting to go at some of the outside edges and wheel nut edges. I have since had 3 of them done again, at a reduced price by them.

I ended up getting mines painted.

Got them slightly darker they looked great.
