We offer 2 specialist processes, diamond cutting and powder coating, which allows you to either re-fresh your original look and eradicate any kerbing damage or go for a new colour and finish. Why not try a gloss or matt finish for your alloy wheels for example.

These can be fitted at the same time as your refurbishment.

Top tips on how to increase the lifespan of your tyres

tyres-for-carWe’ve got some great top tips to help ensure your tyres last for as long as possible.
What you should do is increase the life of your current tyres:

Keep your tyres pressurised: Tyre pressure can affect the quality of your driving experience as well as how long your tyres can last. We recommend you get your tyre pressure checked at least once a month.

Balance your wheels: Wheels should be balanced regularly; one way to ensure you do this is by rotating the wheels when you change your car’s oil.

Avoid potholes: Potholes can easily damage your tyres and alloy wheels, especially if driven over at speed. It’s a good idea to select high quality tyres and avoid potholes altogether if you can.

Look at the tread wear: Keep on track of wheel alignment is a good way to assess the tread wear of your tyres – keep them legal! One way to look at tread way is by inserting a coin through the wear bars. If the coin’s head is visible through the bar, it’s time to change the tyres.

Avoid harsh weather exposure: Weather can cause your tyres to perish. Icy winter weather and summer heat can be detrimental to the health of your tyres.

With these top tips, you can keep your tyres lasting for longer so you can get more value from the rims that you have on the wheels.

Need new tyres? We can source what you need. Call us today on 0208 845 7788.

Diamond Cutting Alloy Wheels at Your Local West London Alloy Wheel Repair Centre

diamond-cut-alloy-wheel-repair-machineDiamond Alloys has a reputation for offering customers in West London high quality alloy wheel refurbishment services which include Diamond Cutting, Powder Coat Refurbishment and Customisation.

Our technicians are highly skilled and trained in the Diamond Cutting process which means each alloy wheel receives the attention it needs to ensure the finish is as good as new. Whether it’s a small scuff, dent, or chip, our Diamond Cut machine pinpoints exactly where the damage is and how much cutting is required for the alloy to look brand new again.

diamond-cut-alloy-wheel-repairThe Diamond Cutting process is extremely precise; a finish which cannot be done by hand. The Diamond Cutting machine uses laser technology to remove damage you can’t see by eye. Once the data has been processed by the machine, the Diamond Cutting starts by slowly and gradually coming closer and closer to the alloy to cut off an incredibly thin layer of the alloy. It then moves back and goes ahead and repeats the procedure to ensure no damage is missed.

The Diamond Cut alloy wheel machine spins the rim at a very high speed with a rotary cylinder that holds the alloy in place. On the end of the machine, an incredibly precise sharp blade has an electric mechanism beneath it for the machine to slide in and out smoothly, assuring the alloy wheel is not damaged by the high speed cutting of the blade.

diamond-cut-machineLaser technology helps the machine to be as accurate as possible by scanning the whole alloy before any movement in the machine pinpointing the exact locations of the damage.

Whether you are a consumer looking to get a new look for your alloy wheels or a bodyshop repair center or car dealer ship needing an alloy wheel repair company to service their vehicles then use Diamond Alloys. We make sure alloy wheels don’t leave our workshop until they look perfect.

Pothole Peril on UK Roads

weld1-1024x683With potholes increasing day by day, and limited resources from councils to fix them quickly, most motorists encounter bumping over potholes on a daily basis. This is more than just a motoring annoyance. Driving over a pothole, especially at speed, can cause damage to your alloy wheels. Such damage might include denting or cracking your alloys which can cause loss of pressure and potentially cause your car to fail its MOT.

img_2249-2-1024x683To replace damaged alloy wheels can also be costly, so you should think about having your alloy wheels repaired at a specialist alloy wheel repair center like Diamond Alloys. In our West London based wheel Refurbishment Centre cracked alloy wheels can often be easily, quickly and professionally repaired by our highly skilled technicians with a straightening technique. Dented alloy wheels can be repaired with a weld service.

An alloy wheel usually starts to crack with a fine fracture on the side of the rim which can be caused by the wheel being exposed to the road or curb. Because of weather corrosion and regular pressure this fracture usually becomes a larger crack and can begin to open up making your alloy wheel not only look unsightly but also become structurally unsound.

refurbished-range-rover-wheelsAt Diamond Alloys, we use our vast alloy wheel repair experience and the latest equipment and machinery to repair damaged wheels to the highest standards.

If you want to give your damaged or cracked alloy a new lease of life, then give us a call on 0208 845 7788 now. You can choose from a range of alloy wheel refurbishments including a bespoke alloy refurbishment, a standard refurbishment or our most popular service a Diamond Cut after your cracked alloy have been repaired.

Jaguar Alloy Wheel Repairs

jaguar_alloy-wheel-repair01We know that owners of quality vehicles like a Jaguar want a quality alloy wheel repair and refurbishment service to meet the high standards of quality and styling that come as standard with a luxury car. And if you see how badly alloy wheels can be damaged by kerbing, you’ll understand why so many customers with luxury cars use Diamond Alloys!

To ensure we can offer a top-notch alloy wheel repair service we ensure all our customers are offered a powder coat finish for their wheel refurbishment, as we believe this offers the best and most long-lasting results.

At Diamond Alloys London we believe the reason powder coated alloy wheels look better is because the powder coating process creates a smoother and thicker coating, which gives a high quality finish for much longer than traditional wet paint methods.

jaguar_alloy-wheel-repair02These Jaguar alloy wheels pictured above had some kerb damage that required our technicians to first sand and file the alloy back into shape. They could only do this, however, after the alloys had been thoroughly cleaned with our AquaBlast machine – something that ensures we can offer the best possible repair rather than simply covering over break dust and other damaging elements.

The alloy wheels are then gently heated to remove any air, then cooled and primed, before being coated with the specialist powder mixture. The alloys are then baked in our specialist oven at 200 degrees Celsius, which ensures that the powder coat hardens and will subsequently be very difficult to remove!

jaguar_alloy-wheel-repair03The overall result from powder coating is simply stunning, and we would urge you to consider it if your alloy wheels are due for a refurb. The great thing about it is that the powder comes in a huge variety of colours, so it’s a great excuse to change your look if you feel that your car is getting a bit stale!

For our first-rate powder coat alloy wheel repair service, drop your car off to our Northolt branch (A40 London). Book your alloy wheels in for a new look now by calling 0208 845 7788 today.

How does an Alloy Wheel get Powder Coated?

spray-paint-powder-coatIf you are looking for the best finish for your alloy wheels, then we believe a powder coat is a must! It produces a smooth and even finish for the best results. It can also be combined with a diamond cut process. At Diamond Alloys we apply a powder coat finish to all our alloy wheel refurbishments keep our technology and working practices bang up to date by upgrading our machinery and training staff with new and improved techniques.

By using a powder coat machine, we can achieve shorten lead times, so that we can not only offer great looking refurbished alloys wheels but an even better service. The process offers a smoother finish and a quicker bake time, not surprising since the oven heats to an impressive 230℃!

The powder coat process:

• Degas the alloys at 230℃+ for a minimum of 15 minutes
• Turn the heat down to 200℃ – 210℃ as coating begins
• Prime the alloy wheel in the spray booth
• Bake the powder coated alloys for 5 – 10 minutes when last wheel goes back into oven
• Remove wheels once baking is complete and cool to 80℃
• Add the base coat to colour
• Flash off 5 – 10 minutes before putting back into oven
• Put back into oven for 10 – 15 minutes ready for clear coat
• Apply Clear coat
• Put last wheel back into oven and bake for 10 – 15 minutes
• Remove from oven and cool

If you want to get a great looking set of alloy wheels at a price that is cheaper than buying new, then we highly recommend a powder coat process.
