Welding Alloys Wheels

Alloys wheels mostly sustain scratches, scrapes or kerbing damage but on occasion the damage can result in a crack or tear along the outside rim, as pictured here. However, damage like this can easily be repaired and save you having to buy new, which is a more costly solution.

After the weld has been completed the guys in our prep room fill and sand the alloy to produce a sound surface once again. Wheels are then powder coated to give a really smooth finish before being painted and lacquered.

Diamond Alloys can offer a welding crack repair service in addition to painting and diamond cutting, enabling you to get the job done all at once and in just a few days. If your alloy wheel has sustained damage like this, just send us a picture and we will be able to tell you if it can be repaired. Call us today on 0845 370 8881 and see if you can save money by opting for a repair service for you alloy wheels.

A Difficult Diamond Cut

Leave a reply

This week we received a Chrysler YpsilonSE alloy wheel from one of our trade accounts; Streamline Accident Repair, with a request to refurbish an alloy wheel which had been badly damaged. On seeing the wheel, our technicians could see the wheel had been diamond cut many times before. The diamond cut process cuts away a very thin layer of metal from the alloy to remove and damage sustained by kerbing, which means only so many cuts can be done before a replacement wheel is required, which is why Streamline asked for our professional opinion on whether another cut was possible.

This wheel was difficulty to cut, however the guys managed to take extra care and made sure it was done at the highest level allowing one last cut to be achieved and a huge bill avoided for the customer in replacing for new. The alloy had a diamond cut face with a grey insert which really accentuates the design of the spokes.

If you are not sure if your wheels can be diamond cut, just email us a picture of pop down to our London workshop, we are just of the A40.
