How to Get Diamond Cut Alloys Repaired

Diamond cut alloys are the perfect feature to finish the prestige aesthetic on any vehicle. For a unique look often associated with luxury cars, you probably opted for diamond cut wheels. A great choice, but if they sustain even minor damage, this premium look might be going to waste.

It’s not always been easy to find reliable and convenient diamond cut wheel repair shops, meaning that you might previously have had to spend much more than you’d hoped, or take your car to a garage further away than is useful to you. With mobile alloy wheel repair, this is no longer the case.

You can find affordable repair work, which comes to you no matter where you are, at a reasonable price.


What are diamond cut alloys?


Diamond cut alloy wheels are machined to achieve a shiny CD or DVD like finish. They provide a very unique style which cannot be achieved in any other way. As you’d expect, diamond cut wheels are cut using a diamond-tipped cutting lathe, which is ‘computer numerically controlled,’ and ensures that a very precise thin layer of the alloy’s surface is removed.

This leads to a two-tone effect in which the cut areas are very shiny. After being cut, your diamond cut alloys would be lacquered to provide protection and prevent corrosion. This type of alloy is what you’d expect to find on most high end or luxury vehicles.

Diamond cut alloy benefits include corrosion resistance, thanks to the lacquer applied after cutting (assuming this is applied correctly), improved heat dissipation, and higher resale value than regular painted wheels. To book a mobile diamond cut alloy repair, just type in your town below:

Signs of damage to diamond alloys


You might be wondering, what are the signs of diamond cut alloy damage? Here is a detailed list of lots of the types of damage you might expect to encounter with diamond cut alloys:

  • Corrosion - You might notice visible pitting or ‘blisters’ on the surface of your wheels, which are signs of corrosion. This is much more likely if you’ve had your wheels diamond cut lots of times, as eventually this can wear down the thickness of wheels. A good way to reduce the likelihood of corrosion is to clean alloys regularly.
  • Discolouration - A change in colour on areas of your wheels, especially those which have been machined, are often a sign that chemicals or extreme temperatures have had an effect on your wheels. It’s always important to pay close attention to potential damage in order to keep yourself and others safe on the road.
  • Scratches and chips - Particularly noticeable on diamond cut wheels, scratches and chips can lower the visual appeal of your vehicle, and may even lower the resale value in some cases.
  • Handling/steering difficulty - Inconsistent steering or handling can signify damage to your alloys. Many forms of damage will inhibit the structural integrity or function of your wheels and your engine/steering system might have to compensate for this.

If you notice any signs of alloy damage at all, we’d recommend seeking advice or repairs as soon as you can, as this might save you more money down the road…


Can I repair diamond alloys at home?


Unless you happen to have a diamond cutting lathe lying around your house and the expertise required to operate one, you cannot repair diamond alloys at home, by yourself… diamond cut alloys require specialised equipment and expert training in order to be completed, so a self-repair job is almost definitely out of the question.

But, the beauty of mobile alloy wheel repair is that repairs can come to you, wherever you are. Our diamond cutting mobile repair van is the first in the UK to be equipped with a mobile diamond lathe, which facilitates expert repairs at never-seen-before convenience.
