Diamond Cut Wheel Refurbishment Cost
If you're searching for accurate pricing on diamond cut alloy wheel refurbishment in Cheshire, here's a breakdown:
Our professional service starts at £99 per wheel for 15"-20" sizes. Larger wheels such as 21"-22" are priced at £150, and for 23"-24" wheels, refurbishment is available from £200 each.
We use precision CNC lathe technology to restore the sharp finish and polished face that define diamond cut alloys, delivering results that elevate both the look and safety of your vehicle.
Diamond Cut Alloys vs Standard Alloys
Standard alloys typically have a painted finish, while diamond cut alloys feature a polished, mirror-like surface created using a CNC lathe. This makes them more visually striking—but also more intricate to repair.
Refurbishing diamond cut wheels is more complex and time-consuming than standard wheel refurbishments. It requires cutting a thin layer off the face of the wheel with a diamond-tipped tool, then recoating it with lacquer for protection and shine.
Most modern premium vehicles come with diamond cut alloys as standard. While they look impressive, it's worth noting that their refurbishment involves more precision, making them slightly more expensive to restore.
Diamond Cut Refurbishment Process
1. Inspection: Every set of wheels is carefully assessed to determine the level of refurbishment required.
2. Wheel Removal: We remove the wheels from the vehicle to begin the process.
3. Cleaning: All contaminants, brake dust, and dirt are thoroughly removed.
4. Lacquer Removal: The existing lacquer is stripped to expose the surface.
5. Preparation: The wheels are smoothed and prepped for the CNC lathe.
6. Lathe Cutting: Using a precision CNC lathe, a thin layer of the alloy is removed to achieve the diamond cut finish.
7. Lacquering: A new clear lacquer is applied to protect the polished face.
8. Curing: The wheels are baked in an oven to harden the lacquer for durability.
9. Quality Check: Final inspection ensures the wheels meet our high standards.
10. Refit: The wheels are securely reinstalled on your vehicle.
Can Diamond Cut Wheels Be Repaired?
Yes, diamond cut alloy wheels can be repaired and restored. However, because they require precision machining to recut the surface, the process is more complex than standard wheel repairs.
Over time, repeated diamond cutting may reduce the wheel's thickness, so it's important to work with professionals who can advise on the viability of future refurbishments. Our team in Cheshire ensures careful inspection before every job to maintain both safety and aesthetics.
What Equipment Is Used for Diamond Cut Wheel Refurbishment?
The diamond cut refurbishment process requires high-precision equipment, including:
• CNC Lathe Machine: Essential for achieving the polished diamond cut finish.
• Sanding and Polishing Tools: Used to smooth the wheel surface before cutting.
• Spray Booth: Ensures even lacquer application for protection and shine.
• Oven Curing System: Hardens the lacquer to make it resistant to road wear and weather.
