What is a Diamond Cut Alloy wheel?

This is an alloy wheel that has been machined to remove the painted surface, revealing the shiny alloy beneath. A small portion of the alloy itself is removed in the process, and the resulting finish is then lacquered to prevent corrosion.

If you inspect your wheel closely, you can tell if it is diamond cut by the fine lines created by the cutting machine. Additionally, diamond-cut wheels will appear very shiny. however, this may be more difficult to notice if your vehicle’s wheels are low quality, old, rusty

We can’t diamond-cut every wheel, it depends on the profile of the face. Our Wheel Specialist technician will let you know if it’s possible.

Does a diamond cut finish last?

Wheels with a diamond-cut finish won’t last as long as those with a powder-coated finish. Plus, any damage to the lacquer—no matter how small—will let water seep in between the lacquer and alloy, leaving uneven patches on the diamond-cut areas. So, if you’re ever concerned about your wheel, ask one of our Wheel Specialist technicians.

At The Wheel Specialist, we understand that your wheels are important to you. Most diamond-cut wheel repairs only require 1-2 cuts, but if our technician believes cutting the wheel will compromise its integrity in any way, they’ll advise a powder coat finish for your refurbishment instead. Each wheel is assessed individually at The Wheel Specialist because we know how much you value them. If you know your wheels have been cut before, please let us know so we can be as thorough as possible.
