Diamond Cut Alloy Refurbishment

[PaulAFC84]

Evening all,

I just wondered if anyone has had a diamond cut alloy refurbished more than once. Caught a kerb the other day and scuffed my front near side alloy quite badly.I had this rim refurbished last year, but I’ve heard that you can only have them refurbished a couple of times. Many thanks for your help.

Hi

i work in Car body repair business, the people who refurbish our diamond cut alloys say they can only do them once.

Hello Paul,

I think you have answered your own question, by simply asking it. 

Logically of course, once, twice, 3 times and so on, depends on how much metal had been removed on the previous occasion/s, and indeed whether -when you had this wheel refurbished - you had knowledge that it had never been refurbished before. 

You mentioned it has now been scuffed quite badly, which infers a fair amount of metal will need to be removed to smooth this off. The return question would be:- is it worth ‘taking a chance’?

My view would be no - in preference to living with it (if it’s still structurally sound??) or obtaining a sound replacement for it.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

I'm off to have a set of Alloygators fitted tomorrow. I just don't trust myself.
