Do you know anyone who can diamond cut 20" alloys

[Zip]

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.

I almost contemplate hiring a tractor to get across their driveway!

Yep, won't fit on the lathe and yes the drive up there had me fearing for my undercarriage.

mine are at lepsons since last week, will let you all know how they turn out, they are supposed to be one of the best. dropped them off at gillingham myself, huge warehouses. 3 full time lathe operators.

I decided to have my FE 20" alloys done by BJV last year, I just opted not to have them diamond cut. Diamonds cut is fine for a while but I think you are always more likely to need them redone again due to corrosion, diamond cutting is generally quite expensive to due to the work involved.

Yeah it won't be cheap. But the diamond cut wheels just set off the Avus silver body to perfection. I had thought of a graphite powder coat, but in the end the polished alloy look won over.

I went for the bright silver option and ou can hardly tell the difference to OEM when looking at them, it just doent leave the pretty pattern on the floor anymore
