Title: Anyone Know Where To Get Wheels Re-Diamond Cut?
Post by: dpalmer_220992 on September 03, 2016, 10:50:21 am
Basically I'm looking for somewhere to get 1 wheel refurbed as I managed to kurb it the other day, then I dropped it so it really does need doing now. However it's diamond cut and I can't seem to find anywhere to do it, I'm based near Nottingham but I am willing to travel a bit!

Thanks in advance!

If you do one wheel will the others look crap in comparison?

It could also be cheaper to buy a wheel so I'd look into that!

@peskyjones recently spent a bit of time looking into getting his wheels done so he might know where to go!

No, the wheels are mint, it's the first time in 6 years I've kerbed a wheel believe it or not! -.-

I would of just sanded the kerb mark out as it was tiny and lived with having a small flat spot, but like I said, I went onto drop it like a nob!

I would buy a new wheel but I managed to pick my set up for less than £400 and the cheapest single wheel I've seen is £137 which I refuse to pay!

If you're not in a rush then set and alert online and keep your eyes pealed.
One cheap one might come up!

You'll probably pay ~£90 for a diamond cut wheel refurb possibly more if it's just 1 alloy
