Standard vs diamond-cut — what is the difference?

Standard alloys are painted a single colour. We strip, prime, colour-match and lacquer. A diamond-cut alloy has a machined face over a coloured base — a proper CNC lathe is needed to re-cut the pattern before lacquering. That is why it costs almost twice as much.

When to refurbish and when to replace

If the wheel is buckled, cracked or has structural damage, replace — never refurbish. A refurbished cracked wheel is a MOT failure and a safety risk. If the damage is cosmetic (kerbing, curbing, minor corrosion) refurbishment gives factory finish at a fraction of the cost of a new wheel.

How long?

Standard: same day if in before 10am. Diamond-cut: 24 hours (we send the wheels to a partner CNC bay). Full set: 48 hours.

Do you replace the tyres?

Wheels come off, tyres stay on. We de-mount only if the damage is on the rim lip where the tyre seats.

Frequently asked

Do you match the original colour?

Yes. We use the OEM colour code and match to a Spectrophotometer scan of a clean wheel.

What about winter tyres on separate rims?

We refurbish the extra set at the same time — 20% off the second set.
