Show Stopping Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels

If you love your car then you’ll want your rims to be real show stoppers! To achieve a stunning look we highly recommend a Diamond Cut finish (after all, we are Diamond Alloys!) because it really accentuates the rim design to the max.

If you want some inspiration, then take a look at the gallery of wheels which came through our workshop this week. There is a huge range of styles and spoke designs on the market and most will allow for a painted section and cut face to shine though. Don’t worry if your rims are scuffed or scraped because a Diamond Cut will simply cut away the damage to reveal a wheel which looks as good as new (without the hefty price tag of buying new!).

Our technicians will give you great advice if you are not sure what you want or help realise your dream design. Simply give us a call on 0845 370 8881 and we’ll be happy to assist.

Painted Alloy Wheels for a Classic Look

Leave a reply

If your alloy wheels have seen better days, have scuffs and dents or are suffering from corrosion then it is time for a rim refurbishment.

Many customers want to keep with the original finish for their car, which can easily be achieved by our technicians who have years of skill enabling them to colour match to the original shade or even to the car. A standard painted finish refurbishment can achieve a look as good as new, eradicating damage and costing a fraction of buying new.

All our wheels are powder coated, which is not only more environmentally friendlier than other paint techniques, but also ensures a smooth surface for your wheels resulting in a better and longer lasting result.

Take a look at our gallery and you can see what a great finish can be achieved. Book all 4 wheels in today and we’ll give you a great deal!

We often get asked “can you repair the centre caps on my alloy wheels?”…..you’ll be pleased to know at Diamond Alloys we can do this for you for a small additional fee.

If you know what finish you want for your alloy wheels, give us a call on 0845 370 8881 and we’ll let you know what we can do. Use your imagination to set the limits of the finish you want to achieve and we’ll do our best to exceed your expectations!

Mercedes Multi Spoke Alloys Get a Custom Diamond Cut Refurbishment

Leave a reply

Take a look at these multi spoke Mercedes alloy wheels. When they came in they were very badly corroded around the face of the whole alloy which meant our guys had to chemically strip them back to metal and then sand blast them before being carefully prepped for the base powder coat.

This type of alloy wheel is normally Diamond Cut on the whole face, but to meet the clients request the technician had to customise the cut so that just the lip was diamond cut. We are always happy to chat with our customers so they know what can be achieved, customising where

Diamond Alloys Wheel Repair

Leave a reply

The guys at Diamond Alloys are always busy! Take a look at our gallery and you’ll see our guys hard at work in the prep workshop. After alloys have been dipped in acid and blasted to remove all paint and corrosion they pass through our prep room where each wheel is carefully inspected. Depending on the damage sustained, scratches and kerbing damage is filled and sanded before being powder coated to ensure a sound surface is achieved for our painters or diamond cut technicians.

This careful attention to detail is why we are trusted by top end car dealerships and bodyshop repair centres to refurbish all their wheels and why we get such great feedback.

If your wheels are looking damaged or scuffed you can save pounds by having them repaired compared to buying new. Call us on 0845 370 8881 or click here for a quotation.

How to Avoid Wheel Corrosion

Leave a reply

One of the biggest dangers to your alloys is actually ever-present on the car. Brake dust, which is fragments of brake pad that are detached by abrasion, is largely made up of iron particles that, when heated, can embed themselves in the wheel paint and lead to contact corrosion. The longer it’s attached the more damage it does, so quick action and constant maintenance are key. Here’s a quick guide to ensuring your alloys are dust-free.

How to clean your wheels
You need to clean your alloys weekly for best results. Start off by rinsing the wheels with water, before moving on to more specialist steps. Your next move is to spray the wheels with an acid-free rim cleaner, leave this for a few minutes and then clean the area with a sponge. Wash off the residue with water, and dry the wheels with chamois leather. Remember to only use soft fabrics and sponges to avoid scratching your wheels – there’s no point going to all this trouble just to damage your alloys in a different way!

General care tips

Only use standard polishes on light alloy wheels with a glossy finish
Never use polish on light alloy wheels with a matt finish
Never use chrome polish or cleaners
Seal your rims with liquid wax after washing
Deal with damage as soon as it happens
If you’re uncertain about how to repair damage, don’t attempt it by yourself. Call experts such as Diamond Alloys on 0845 370 8881, who will be able to provide advice and assistance to get your alloys sparkling like new.

Trade Alloy Wheel Repair for a Range Rover Evoque

Leave a reply

If you own a bodyshop repair company in West London or sell second hand cars you will know how important it is to find a reliable and quality driven alloy wheel repair company to repair the rims on the cars you service or stock.

Trade customer M & A Coachworks has been using Diamond Alloys to repair the alloys wheels for their vehicles since we opened. Like most trade accounts they know it makes sense to outsource work of this kind to companies who specialise in wheel repairs, allowing them to work on the rest of the car ensuring a quicker turnaround is achieved. Their latest arrival at Diamond Alloys was a Range Rover Evoque whose rims feature here.

The images show the wheel in the process of being prepped in our West London workshop, before being passed over to the experienced painters and Diamond Cutting team.

Call our trade division on 0845 370 8881 and find out what range of services we offer along with our trade prices.

Painted Audi A3 Alloy Wheel Reapir

Leave a reply

Whatever make or model of car you have, if you have alloy wheels they will at some point sustain a scratch or scrape. Even if you are an expert at parking, the unexpected stone chip can do damage that can be easily repaired rather than a costly replacement.

Diamond Alloys is both a powder coat specialised and a diamond cut repair centre. All works are carried out on site ensuring a speedy turnaround and guaranteed quality finish.

Take a look at these Audi A3 rims which just came in with just kerb damage around the edges of the alloy. Our skilled technicians stripped them in a chemical bath before sand blasting them. They were then prepped and powder coated for a smooth finish before the final layer of lacquer for protection.

If your rims need a bit of love and attention, then pop down to Diamond Alloys West London; we are just off the A40 at Target Roundabout, and we will give you some good advice and a great quote!
