Pointless in this country getting wheels diamond cut unless you dont use your car in any damp weather, this time of year they wouldnt even last till Spring without looking shabby |

Diamond cut wheels last longer than a few months providing that they are done correctly, after the wheel has been cut in the lathe, they must be lacquered to seal the rim and stop it corroding. If your wheels didn't last more than a few months I'd guess that they skipped this step, or that they used very cheap lacquer. The only other thing that can cause Diamond cut wheels to look scabby is the councils fault for placing the kerbs too near your wheels Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

No wheel refurbishment company will guarantee diamond cut alloys to last more than 3 months unfortunately check any of here websites,Every BMW m3 I have seen has had problems with the alloys going milky as it takes just one stone chip to the alloy and then the damp/water gets under the lacquer. It can also creep in from the back of the spoke as there is always a sharp edge. Ford diamond cut wheels also always go the same as do mercedes. Land rover diamond cut wheels are no different and no matter how well you look after them in our climate they will not last. |
