1. How long have you been working at Diamond Alloys?
I’ve been working for Diamond Alloys for two months and I already feel part of the team.

2. What did you do before?
I was a delivery driver for a furniture company.

3. Why did you decide to get into the motor industry?
I have always had an interest in motor vehicles.

4. What do you specialise in?
I specialise in Diamond Cutting alloy wheels.

5. What is a lathe?
It is a large piece of machinery specially designed for Diamond Cutting alloy wheels. Basically it precision cuts off a very thin layer of the alloy, just enough to remove any damage done by kerbing.

6. What specialist training have you had for using a lathe?
Before staring at Diamond Alloys I had two days intense training which allowed me to gain the expertise I needed to deal with any cut required,  these are specialist skills so the training was essential.

7. Why is our Diamond Cut finish so popular?
It is a special and unique finish and very popular thanks to the amazing finished effect it creates. I believe a Diamond Cut finish is the best an alloy can get!

8. What do you recommend customers should do to keep their alloy wheels shinning after a diamond cut finish?
I would recommend they clean each alloy at least once a week with warm soapy water, avoid using acidic or chemical cleaners and polish. Avoiding acidic cleaners is important because they affect the condition of your wheels, which could result in you having to have more refurbishments than actually needed.

9. Why should customers avoid a mobile repair service?
Because they only touch up the wheels which means they just repair the damaged area. In fact you cannot get a Diamond Cut repair done by a mobile repair company, so you need to bring it into a specialist alloy wheel repair company like Diamond Alloys.

10. What motivates you to do a good job?
I take pride in my work and I am very self-motivated.

11. What part of your job you enjoy most?
Meeting a happy customer! Knowing that they are pleased with the work that Diamond Alloys have done.

12. Are you a big car fan?
I get excited about cars so I guess you could say that I am.

 13. If you could drive any car, what would it be, where could you drive it and who would be your passenger?
A Ferrari FF and it wouldn’t matter where I drove it as long as I had a gorgeous lady with me. Not too picky at the moment.

14. What do you do in your spare time?
Relax, meet friends and family.

15. Do you have any ambitions outside work?
When I was a child I always wanted to be a professional footballer…a million miles away from alloy refurbishment, I know.

16. What are three things you can’t live without?
Food, drink and Oxygen…I am not really materialist!

17. What are your alloy wheels like?
I don’t have a car at the moment. Due to where I live it is easier for me to use public transportation oppose to driving.

Wheelsandmore’s work ethic is seen by their work rate. The aftermarket tuner has released some pictures of the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-model. This model is the replacement of the AMG Performance package. The S-Model trim gives the car more stature when you look at it. Before Wheelsandmore got their hands on this car, the 5.5 litre V8 engine gave the car 577 horsepower. With 590 Nm of torque, this car definitely keeps up in the performance arena

Wheelsandmore have upped the ante and now the output has gone up to 700 horsepower and razor-sharp 811 Nm of torque. Wheelsandmore achieved this by adding a new exhaust system and a CRP-F1 package kit.

We love the finish on the alloy wheels, which have a matt black finish which really highlights the orange brake callipers. These matt black custom alloys also make a superb contrast to the fashionable white bodywork.

If you like this bespoke finish on this Mercedes and you are looking for something similar, call us on 0845 370 8881 and discuss your alloy wheel refurbishment options with our trained technicians.

Ajet-black Ferrari is definitely a sight to see but when you put gold into the mix, it definitely takes off. You will see on-line Ferrari 458 Italia alloys which are unique because it has not gone for the traditional red coat of Rosso Corsa (as beautiful as it is). The Ferrari 458 Italia ADV.1 Wheels worked on this car to put ADV5TS five-spoke matte alloy wheels in black. These alloys are track-specification which gives the car even more of that supercar edge that you expect from Ferrari. The wheels are given the gold effect with a bronze outer rim which can clearly be seen on the 458 Italia.
