AutoLux has a wide range of services available from paint restoration and custom paintwork to dent and end of lease repairs, however in this article, we’re going to be covering one service in particular, Alloy Wheel Repairs and Diamond Cutting.
In this article, we will be touching on topics such as why Diamond Cut Alloys are the preferred choice among auto enthusiasts? the benefits of Diamond Cut Alloys over the alternatives of dipped, painted or powder coated wheels, and lastly how you can arrange an appointment for our Same Day Alloy Diamond Cutting Service.
What Are Diamond Cut Alloys?
Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels have become increasingly popular among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike owing to their perfect blend of aesthetics and long term performance compared to stock alloys and other modding techniques such as powder coating.
Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels have a stunning visual appeal thanks to their sharp, dual tone effect that combines a machine cut polished surface against a darker backdrop.
Powder coated wheels or painted alloys can often appear flat or uniform and are prone to scuffs, scrapes and scratches from small stones and debris kicked up from the road while driving, in comparison, with Diamond Cut Alloys a driver can show off complex and eye catching wheel patterns that have been expertly cut and machined, giving your wheels intricate details and depth that cannot be provided with painting or powder coating.
Are Diamond Cut Wheels Prone To Scuffs and Scrapes?
We mentioned in the previous section that powder coated and painted alloys have a tendency to get scuffed and scraped easily during day to day driving, owing to small stones, grit and debris kicked up by your tyres while motoring.
Diamond Cut Alloys on the other hand are less likely to scuff and scrape during everyday driving thanks to their hard wearing lacquer coating which is applied after cutting. It is still important to clean and maintain your Alloy Wheels after Diamond Cutting, however, the hard, polished surface of a Diamond Cut Wheel is far less prone to everyday scuffs and scrapes when compared to its painted or powder coated counterparts.
Repairing & Restoring Diamond Cut Alloys
As we mentioned previously, Diamond Cut Alloys are often tougher than their painted and powder coated counterparts when it comes to standing up to scuffs and scratches from daily wear and tear. However, it is worth noting that your Diamond Cut Alloys can still suffer from scuffs and scrapes, as much as we all like to preach our driving perfection, curbing your alloys is a very real danger, scuffs and scrapes from newly surfaced roads and narrow country tracks are also a potential hazard.
In these circumstances what can you do?
Repairing powder coated or painted wheels can be both time consuming and expensive, the process entails removing the entire paint job or powder coating through a mix of chemical based processes and manual sanding and grinding before reapplying a finish that is still lacking in character when compared to a Diamond Cut Wheel.
If your Diamond Cut Alloys happen to get scratched or damaged, more often than not, they can simply be re-machined and re-lacquered, quickly restoring them to their original glory.

Improved Performance: These wheels are lighter than traditional steel wheels, which can lead to better acceleration, handling, and braking performance.
Better Heat Dissipation: The design allows for superior heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade and ensuring safer driving conditions.
Increased Resale Value: Vehicles equipped with Diamond Cut Alloys often attract higher resale values due to their premium appearance and perceived performance benefits.
