Diamond turned wheel refurbish

My dealer says the 22 diamond turned wheels can't be refurbished in the same two tone finish (turbine design with dark silver contrast). If refurbished you loose the two tone design and becomes all light silver. I'd like to find a way to refurb the kerbed alloys keeping the original two tone look. Anyone knows if this is possible?

It can be done its just that most wheel refurbers dont have the right gear as the wheels effectively need re-skimming to take away the damaged bits.

My usual guy can definitely do it.

Thanks guys. Looking at both sites it seems smart repair company can only diamond cut up to 20 inch wheels.
Not sure if logistics would work out as I'd have to send them to the UK.
Anyone has an address in France?

CSK...hmm, I fear that you may face the prospect of replacement rather than repair.

I had a similar issue with the diamond-cut standard wheels on an AMG product; had a little slither on a snow-covered lane, despite the use of cold weather tyres.

The repairer who I took the wheel to (a very good local engineering business) explained that the machining required would render the contrasting paint finish looking rather botched because of the changes to profile of the wheel-edge. I decided to live with the resulting odd-looking finish but it irritated me every time it caught my eye...eventually gave in and bought a new wheel.

This isn't much compensation but I feel your pain!

You can but it's costly, I was looking at having mine done on my L322 but to be honest for the cost and the length of time you get using them before the lacquer chips and they get worm lines in them again isn't worth in imo. I'm just going to powder coat them Smile 09 TDV8 Westminster, Mariana Black, Rear seat entertainment, hatch bag and 2 slobbery mutts

Not in France but this company (admittedly in Inverness, North Scotland) is very good and I think they recently bought a lathe for the diamond cutting on bigger wheels. They are used to getting wheels sent from all over.

I got new rubber spun on by them last month and was chatting to them about the diamonds (our L405 has them).

Not sure of logistics but worth noting for maybe others in UK if not for you in France.

PS Not involved with or part of this company.

Have a read of this http://1074403938.8487627.temp.prositehost...ut-alloys/

Prestige repaired two of my 22 inch style 7's on the L405. I am six months on and they still look good as new.
