Spit and Polish or Lepsons. Both have been widely used by people on this forum, with good results. Diamond cut toplines are my favourite wheels. My friend had his diamond cut only on the face and lip, the insides were black and really set it off, might be worthwhile going down this route...

That sounds really good, any pics?
My mate went for white insides on his white Sport...
Unfortunately the insides cannot be diamond cut due to the cutting blades not getting full access to the insides,
But colour coding the insides to the colour of your car come with a flip side, & that is that a rare & valuable wheel like the topline, which is always in demand, will only appeal to someone with the same colour car as you, unless of course they are willing to refurb them, but this may bring the value down when your selling...
Also a guy I know in the refurb business has told me that no wheel( especially toplines) in an ideal world wants to be diamond cut refurbed more than 3 tiimes at the very maximum, as every time they are cut , a good deal of meat is being cut out of them, thus leaving a weakened alloy wheel, whch is prone to buckling & cracking.. this has always been the toplines achilles heel.
So only diamond cut if neccessary, & make sure they wont need doing again!
