To repair properly or risk it with a cheap solution?

If you decide to repair your diamond cut alloy wheels, there are repairers out there who will happily bodge your wheels for you for a bargain price!

Diamond cut alloy wheels are machine turned, cut with diamond cutting tip on a lathe in the factory. We use the same technology to cut out the damage: we take the tyre off the wheel, place the wheel in our state of the art mobile lathe and machine the face down by fractions of millimetres, to take off the damage and reapply lacquer to give the wheel a stunning finish.

We regularly see and correct some horrendous “cheap” fixes, where diamond cut alloys have been sanded and painted. It may be a “pass” for a lease return, but we’re seeing more and more vehicle condition assessors spotting these cheap fixes/bodges, and then charging the customer and getting us to put the car right.
