Wheel Refurbishment

Repair Limitations

The most important aspect of our service is that we are performing a refurbishment and there are limits to what can be achieved.

 

Undercoat / Base Coat

This is a consequence of the diamond cutting process removing very small amounts of metal from the face of the wheel and exposing the underlying primer.

 

Diamond cut lines

Our highly skilled technicians will do their best to minimise visibility of those lines, however, we cannot be sure how they will appear on the finished wheel.

 

No. of diamond cuts

The refurbishment of diamond cut wheels requires the removal of a small amount of surface metal. Customers should be aware that this may limit the number of times such wheels can be refurbished using this method.

 

Text / patterns / logos

Please be aware that the patterns / logos may be less visible or lost during the refurbishment process due to primer/paint thickness and/or amount of aluminium left prior diamond cutting process.

 

Pinholes / Imperfections

When diamond cutting on previously welded area or if alloy cast isn’t perfect, small pinholes can appear. We generally cannot tell you in advance if there are likely to be problems.

 

Smoked / tinted lacquer

Due to the intricate process involved when creating a smoked / tinted lacquer effect it is not always possible to precisely match a refurbished wheel to existing wheels, we therefore suggest that either 2 wheels from the same side of the vehicle or all 4 wheels be refurbished at once.

Are My Wheels Diamond Cut?

If your wheels have a highly reflective metal outer surface with a darker inner surface, your wheels are diamond cut. Faint machine lines will also be visible upon close inspection.
