Hey troops, as title suggests there is Finally a place in Scotland that can refurb diamond cut wheels. (Diamond wheels tech) in Dundee
All previous searches I have done, have all lead me down south.
Not sure if anyone on here as used them yet, (if so was, whats your thoughts on them)
I have been throwing emails back and forward with a guy called Danail from there for rough prices etc, and chinned him about a wee group discount for the forum members.
He says if I can get him 10 or more wheels he can do them for 190 a set if you give them to him without tyres. or 210 a set if you need your tyres removed and re-instated etc.
Yes I said a set. Im sure some of the places down south were wanting not a kick in the arse off that per wheel. :ashamed:
Would any1 be interested in this, I am defo going to be getting mine done so I am needing another 6 wheels :signLOL: or lets say another 2 people, as I am pretty sure ppl would be wanting a full set done.
I have asked him about black insets, to replicate the Mk6 Monza wheels and he says thats not a problem.

he gave me a video of the wheels getting done aswell but not sure how to upload vids.
let me know if any1 would be interested in this, as it seems a pretty good price, and by the looks of the pics his work doesnt seem to shabby at all.
P.S I am not affiliated with Diamond wheel tech in anyway :signLOL:
-
Good price that !!
-
Good price that !!
Yeah thought so too, getting mine done in the next 2 or 3 weeks so will get some before and after pics up as soon as there done.
Would be good if I could get a couple more people interested in getting theirs done, and get them done with a bit of discount.
:happy2:
-
Would love my scirocco alloys to be diamond cut and I'm in dundee too :smiley:

diamond cut rocco wheels would look sweet I think.
You heard anything about this lot, since there in your neck of the woods?
You think you would be up for getting them done, will email him and see if he can do the rocco wheels? would only need one other person if your up for it.
mind u looking at the video he sent me not sure if its just wheels with a flat face that could be done, rocco wheels kinda go in at an angle if you get me.
Will see what he says though. :happy2:
-
Thats a great price,just a pity its in Dundee :sad1:
Wouldn't mind seeing that vid if you can get it posted.

PM me ur email addy and I will email u it, its only a 30sec clip just not sure how to put up on here.
Get ur ass up to bonnie scotland and get a discount, guy says hes normally £65+ VAT a wheel.
-
thats a wicked price. Its soooooo expensive down here in bournemouth, Havent found it any cheaper than £360. At those prices i may look into getting a courier to take tham and pick them up :signLOL:

Yeah thought so too.
Says if I can get him 10 or more wheels, then he will do them for the above prices otherwise its 65quid +VAT so a bit closer to the prices south of the border.
My wheels are getting dropped off middle of next week and will have them back for the wknd. just hoping 2 other ppl jump on the bandwagon so we can get the good price. :smiley:
Wonder if it would be worth posting in the for sale section.

Any joy with the scirocco wheels?

Emailed him, and he wasnt too sure, says the scirocco wheels have a twisted spoke and wouldnt want to risk doing it.
says its easier to diamond cut a flat face with the lathe he has?
shame aswell, would have only needed one more person to get them done at much cheapness if he could have done the rocco wheels. :sad:
u know anythin about this lot with them bein in ur town?
-
I need to get mine done and I live in Guildford. Anyone know of any group discounts going in the south or shall I enquire and start a new group discount club down in rip off south?
Black inserts a must!

I have a set of Monza's in dire need of refurb!! Was all set to have them coated but this sounds like a seriously good deal and I would much prefer them done properly. I'm in Prestwick but could no doubt make the journey for that price. I kinda need the car most of the time but if I get a bit of notice I'm sure it could work. Do you want to enquire on my behalf or send me the guy's contact details?

Great price for those alloys, I have just been quoted £95 by A1 wheels just to do the lip of one of my RML alloys as it caught the curb, only about 2mm too, Can I just send one to them to get in on the group buy?
-
If anyone needs a courier then use paisley freight services. They charge £32 to deliver a set of 4 wheels with tyres or £27 for a set of four wheels. They are couriered by initial city link. I have never had any problems with these guys

Well dropped my wheels off on Sunday and was meant to pick them up on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning the guy calls and says he has been snowed under so wont be ready til Thursday. :sad1:
At the end of the day he wasnt taking the full price so cant really blame him for maybe getting wheels out the way for customers that are paying the full wack.
Txts me on Wednesday night and says wheels will be ready anytime on Thursday so got the misses to go and pick them up.
The wheels where a day late but he has transformed them from:

What a difference, for 200quid wasnt expecting them to be half as good as what they are.
The guy deserves a medal, or something. Anyone in Scotland lookin to get your wheels done, would highly recommend him.
What you guys think????
-

Calm down dear give me time, finished item is above :signLOL:
-
very nice..... looks like a top job...
-
Good work and you can't sniff at 50 quid a corner! :laugh:
-
that looks like you have fantastic result's at fantastic price
may get my Astra wheels done, but not sure about the GTi's wheels as I may go for 19's
-
They look topper!
-
thats well gid man, good choice with the black middles really makes them "POP"
:smiley:

What is the white spotting/mottling, is it in the alloy or is it just a trick of the light or maybe water marks from washing them?
-

Yeah think its just water marks mate.
Muzza on here got his done just after me, so hopefully he will get some pics up aswell.
For 50quid a wheel though, they look 100X better.

Id be interested in getting mine done. Im just south of Edinburgh. Mine are currently powder coated silver but id like the original graphite inserts, Would they be able to match the colour with nothing to match it to? if that makes any sense!
Also are they lacquered after they are cut?
-
had a quick look at them this morning look spot on :happy2:

Had a look on my car, or the pics on here, hope you havent been stalking me, :signLOL:
only kiddin your more than welcome to have a nosey, just need to phone VW and see how much they are wanting for some new centre caps to finish them off.

Would be best to give him a shout but am sure if he doesnt get the exact match, they wont be a million miles away.
Im sure if you got light anthracite colour with diamond cut face then wouldnt be too far away.
unless some of the anoraks on here know the exact colour, Im sure no matter what he does though you will be happy with anyway.
Yeah they are laquered afterwards. :happy2:
-
im sure i paid just over 20 quid for centre caps from vw with a bit discount if u do buy on ebay or that make sure they are genuine cos i bought a set ages ago for my gti when i had it and they looked crap more like brushed aluminium effect on the vw letters and it wasnt aligned properly with the outer circle
-
Sorry for delay folks but I have eventually got the wheels on with new centre caps. This guy is a genius!! Btw, please don't judge me on the state of my calipers!!!

Also, I am new to uploading pics here so fingers crossed!!! :smiley:
-
they look sweet, you must be really pleased :jumpmove:
-
Looking good Ewan (Muzza) you got any pics fo the wheels before they got done?
Is your mate with the M3 gonna get his done?
-
I'm over the moon Frenzy!!! Just to get calipers sorted now.
Jaffa, bloody phone died on morning I took wheels up so that's a big no. Raging as well cos they were totally shagged!! Would show just how much of a miracle they worked. M3 mate away now for a few weeks so will wait and see. Needless to say I'll be recommending him to everyone. They had a set of 20" Insignia VXR whhels in when I picked mine up. Guy was getting the face diamond cut, wish I could see that result! :drool:
-
These wheels still looking as good!?
Im very interested in getting this done, anyone else up for getting a group buy together??
Im in so just 2 more people and its much cheapness...
-
I stay in Kilmarnock im defo up for that,come on scottish gti owners the more we get the cheaper
-
C'mon just one more peeps! :congrats: :pomppomp:
-
Look spot on, nice work!!
-
Thanks for the heads up , I need my Monzas refurbed and am in Kent . The local price is about £ 360 - £380 , so even with the courier costs its at least £ 100 cheaper to send them up to Dundee.
Mine will be coming off and going up in the next week or so .
Cheers for the info.
Mark
-
Just sent an email to them regarding a deal if anyone else is interested?? Will keep you's updated. Please log interest. Also im based south of edinburgh so could possibly pick up en route etc if folk are up for chippin in on fuel as i could get a van?? :party:

Sorry for the delay never realised this thread was still going, but yeah still looking spot on, think as long as the misses stays away from kerbs and I keep on top of cleaning them they should be good for a while.
mind you winter will be the real test with all the salt on the road etc.
if you guys get your wheels done, be sure to get pics up on here, and let the troops see them. :happy2:

Dunno if this company is still going btw have a wee read at this
