      What Are Diamond Cut Alloy Wheels?<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Diamond cut wheels are different from normal painted alloy wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n

      After the wheel is painted, a CNC lathe cuts a thin layer from the surface of the wheel. This creates the bright metallic finish that diamond cut wheels are known for. <\/span>The wheel then gets a clear coat to protect the metal from water, dirt, and corrosion.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Because the metal surface sits under a thin clear coat, diamond cut wheels can damage more easily than fully painted wheels. Small stone chips or scratches can let moisture get under the lacquer. Over time, this causes corrosion and peeling. <\/span>This is why many drivers look for ways to repair diamond cut alloy wheels instead of replacing them.<\/span><\/p>\n
