Get a New Look For Your Alloys

Not all alloy wheel refurbishments are booked because they are scuffed or damaged. Many Diamond Alloys customers come to our refurbishment because they want to give their alloys an updated look.

 

We have a team of alloy wheel specialists who are on hand to be able to advise customers on a range of finishes including diamond cutting, standard painted refurbishments and bespoke custom refurbishments, in fact we can do most things, the only limitation is your imagination!

 

Take a look at the alloys off this Volvo. These 18” alloys wheels received a brand new glossy black makeover, transforming them from their original look.

Mercedes AMG Wheels get a New Look at Diamond Alloys

photo 5Alloy wheels are the crowning glory on a car, and there are few better examples than on a Mercedes. This 18” 6 spoke AMG alloy wheel design had become tired and damaged with break dust and kerbing, taking away all the shine and appeal. A car wash will bring the cars bodywork back to life, but when alloys get really badly affected with break dust and scuffs a refurbishment is the best solution.

 

These wheels were cleaned carefully to remove all the dirt and break dust allowing our technicians to see more closely the damage that each wheel had sustained. The alloy was then placed into our lathe for cutting before a protective lacquer was applied. You can see the difference by looking at our before and after image.

 

Repairing and refurbishing alloy wheels is cheaper than buying new, and with our discount on 4 wheels + you can get a great deal at Diamond Alloys. If you want a full car make over, then you can also get your car fully valeted at the same time, and we will also source new tyres for you too! Simply email or call us on 0845 370 8111 for more details.

Vauxhall Astra Gets a Diamond Cut Refurbishment

photo 3Some wheels arrive to our London alloy wheel refurbishment centre in a pretty poor state. However, many damages can be rectified, including cracks and dents. We advise all customers to send us a picture of their damaged wheel and we will be able to advise if we can help fix the problem or not; alternatively you can pop down and see us in person.

 

The customer of this Vauxhall Astra sent us a picture of his wheel which had a crack and we were happy to advise that it was a repair we could manage with ease. The guys welded the crack first, before rubbing back to a smooth surface and putting it into our lathe for diamond cutting. You can see the great result achieved, with painted inserts and a beautiful diamond cut face.

 

If your wheels are losing air, then it might be because your alloys have sustained a crack or dent. These must be fixed, otherwise you might not pass your MOT! Give Diamond Alloys a call on 0845 370 8881 or email some pictures to us and we will happily inspect your wheels and give you some great advise.
