hello coley, i paid about 180 for my four to be done a while back, that was rediamond cut and laquered, but i must admit they wernt brilliant didnt have that shine like the originals, make sure you get someone good to do diamond cutting, if youre near essex then ive heard spit and polish are very good, 50-60 a wheel.

A1 Wheels based in wolverhampton.
Used them years ago, cant remember price
Basically strip them back, diamond cut and laquer etc.
Looked very nice when finished.

those rs2k wheels dont look diamond cut after they have refurbed them - just paint.

They looked shinier before.

yes but the op wants his wheels diamond cut and not just painted as that will reflect differently on price and also finish.

Yours do look good but i prefer them wheels to be diamond cut

Oh right i didnt see that he wonted them diamond cut

We didnt have them diamond cut as the car is used every day and they would of been a nightmare to keep looking mint, which is why they was powder coated.

I have diamind cut on my mondeo and once water gets behind the laquer they look shite

agree with you on the water behind the lacquer - it really is a pain on diamond cut rims - but thats how the 3dr wheels came and that is how they should look

I will need to get mine done soon once i get the car on the road.

Have seen there work a few times and to be honest i have not been impressed with it, especially for the prices they charge.

What about getting a machine shop to flash the faces with a diamond bit in the lathe and then get a bodyshop to laquer them up nice.take all the tyre,valves out first so it'll keep your costs down.I'd say two hours in the machine shop @about £ 30ph and about a ton to get them lacquered.I charge about 160-180 a set for a paint refurb and the results are amazing.that includes all tyre fitting/refitting etc.
