A Cut Above the Rest – Diamond Cutting Alloy Wheels

img_5661-2We love to shout about how good we are at repairing and refurbishing alloy wheels. We believe the proof is in the pudding and so regularly share finished wheels on our news page and social media so you can see just how good our Diamond Cutting finish is.

The process cuts a very thin layer of alloy away to remove any kerbing damage and produces a shiny effect a bit like the back of a CD. This can be contrasted against a dark black gloss or shadow chrome finish for dramatic affect to accentuate the shape of the alloys, or with standard silver for a more subtle effect.

Take a look at our galleries and it might inspire you to opt for a new look! Our technicians have years of experience and are highly skilled and can create a finish to your desired look. If you have seen something you like on another car, then snap a picture and show us, we’ll do our best to create a similar look depending on your alloys spoke design.

ALL our alloy wheels have a powder coat base as standard including our Diamond Cut alloy wheels. This gives a sound base which is smooth and long lasting; remember, we powder coat front and back, not just the face of the wheel. If you have seen a look you like here, simply give us a call on 0208 845 7788 or get a quote on-line here.

At Diamond Alloys, We’ve Got Your Back

img_6760-smallHave you ever had someone ‘pop in’ to see you unexpectedly? Did you then do what millions of us do, and spend five minutes frantically making the place look as clean and tidy as possible – perhaps by hiding all the dirty dishes in a cupboard? There’s no shame in these temporary measures, because that’s just what they are – temporary. You’re simply trying to give your guest a pleasant experience, not to mention protect your reputation as a homeowner! What you’re not doing is permanently keeping those dirty plates in the cupboard, or leaving that pile of un-ironed laundry hidden behind the sofa forever. That would be terrible, right?

img_0929-3smallIf you agree with that, then you can imagine how we feel about companies that only repair and maintain the front of the wheel. It’s the same kind of thing – they’re only treating the areas that people can see and letting the hidden areas, in this case the back of the alloy, become filthy and unloved. The worst thing is that it often isn’t made clear that this is what the company has done, mean that customers think that their wheels are more protected than they are in reality.

img_3071-2smallHere at Diamond Alloys we powder coat and paint the entire alloy, not just the front. This is because we are committed to providing the highest quality service possible, and because we believe that all parts of an alloy should be cared for equally, regardless of whether or not they are visible. Powder coating the whole alloy results in longer-lasting rims, which is what anyone who cares about the health of their wheels deserves.

If you’d like to find out more about any of our repair processes, from powder coating to diamond cutting, please check out our blogs which document them all in detail. You can even watch our YouTube videos to see exactly how we do the repairs and painting – on both sides of the wheel!
