Wicked Wheels

Located in Guildford, Surrey.

The Process

1. The Diamond Cut process involves acid stripping the wheel back to the bare alloy finish.

2. Any dents or deep scratch marks are filled using a TIG welder.

3. Then the wheel is placed in a lathe with a diamond tip cutter to refinish the wheel and give the highly polished finish effect.

4. The wheel is then given a 2 pack lacquer coat applied by using electrostatic powder coating techniques.


The whole process takes 4 days to complete and the finished result as you can see is impressive.

I was charged £55+vat (£64.63) for my ST wheel

Be aware

Some companies will offer to refurbish your ST alloy but will paint the whole wheel silver instead of “Diamond cutting” and it won’t match your original wheels.
