2011 Titanium X Sport 19" Rims Laser Cutting?

Featured Replies

Hi Guys, Loving the site since I joined and some great pics in the gallery.

I have a question, three of my 19" alloys have curb damage and water has since got into the top layer I suspect, I have been informed that they are classed as laser cut wheels and you cannot just take them to any alloy wheel repair shop.

Has anyone got any recommendations of where is the best place (and price) to take them :) or anyone know of anyone selling some of these alloys maybe from a crashed/written off car.

Andy :)



Try The Wheel Specialist, not cheap but one of the very best.

Diamond cut wheels are a pain, my Mondeo ST TDCi had them and they corroded too. I had them polished instead but then it loses the sharpness of the spokes so i wasnt that keen on the finish.

Thank you guys for the advice, I have messaged The Wheel Specialists waiting on a quote. :)

I had a VW that did this... most wheel places don't want to touch them as they have to paint the whole wheel, then shave it whilst its spinning to get the diamond cut look.... If they do them its usually £££££!!!

In the end I just got them refurbished in black...
