Default Do you know anyone who can diamond cut 20" alloys

Took my car to get a quote for refurbishing my alloys and was told this particular company can't diamond cut 20" wheels.

I like to keep the original finish and not have to get them powder coated, hence my question, does anyone know a company that can help me?

Try Lepsons too - theyve got a place in Swindon but will need to send the wheels to their Gillingham (kent) depot for diamond cutting

If you let us know your findings,that would be great,thinking of having mine done in the summer,rather use recommends than trusting to luck.Friend of mine has used pristine wheels before and was very impressed,but that was without the diamond cut process.

BJV Engineering in Flaunden (look them up). Mates of mine own the place. Had mine done black chrome (20" FE wheels) last year by them.

Quite near to you as well.

BJV are the ones who can't do the job. Shame as they have a good reputation and were obviously very much in demand when I visited them on Saturday.

I just them for my 18" sport ones but they didn't need diamond cutting.

From experience, BJV are brilliant and excellent value for money.

Apologies. I assume it's just cos they can't get it on the lathe. I know they can do the old 19" M3 diamond cut wheels, 'cos I have seen severals sets up there.

Anyway, for anyone who has visited BJV, does anyone else see the irony of positioning their workshop at the hub of just about the worst pot-hole infested part of Britain? The drive upto the unit is like the Alps.
