Alloy Refurb

[Kamran]

Hello people

I'm looking to get a set of alloys done and know of companies such as Spit and Polish but can anyone advise of other co's offering similar service through personal experience good or bad. I'm based in London and want to get a diamond cut finish as I'm not a fan of the polished look. Any comments appreciated. thanks

BJV are pretty good, they did a set of alpina's and centre caps for me for a 1er (cash). Not perfect, bot very good for the money.

diamond cut is more cross hatch isnt it?? like stainless steel when it's shiney, as opposed to mirror finish polish i think??

3 rd it for BJV engineering, not perfect but for the money its great!

had two sets done, i set of 15" BBS and 17" Hartges very reasonable prices.

How do you mean by not perfect?

[gazza]

look at mine next ace cafe they are v good but there are some tiny marks that you will only see on your knees in very good light ....i dont think you can beat them for value ...pay 3-400 for a perfect job and you wont tell the difference unless you get your magnifying glass out

diamond cut is when the flat sections or face of the wheel are cut with a lathe and laquered, if done correctly they have a polished look and are easy to maintain, the down side is that the laquer can lift and turn milky

poilished is more expensive as its labour intensive, it needs looking after but gives an amazing finish

spit and poloish did a good job on my wheels, and many others i've sent there.

Lepsons are the best I reckon Im taking my M5 wheels there in a fortnight ...
