    Diamond cut alloys

    What's the crack with diamond cut alloys? Are you able to get them refurbed? The way I understand it is they kind of sand a layer off to get the finish right again but wanted to see what my options are as I have slight curbing on 2 of mine and would like to get them all perfect

      My mate got diamond cut alloys from wheel mania. Curbed one badly n got told they cant be refurbed...im not sure whether that was true or not but he said he was told due to the design its pretty much impossible whether they meant to get them perfect or not...

      Yeah I think one will be in order once I've made a few mods to it I'm still off work sick at the moment but once I'm feeling better I got a ton of pieces going on it. Then get a good snap for my sig
