What is Diamond Cutting of Alloy Wheels?

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Wheel rim

What does diamond cutting of alloy wheels involve? It is the turning of the wheels on our car, done with a diamond-tipped insert; the wheel spins at high speed and the tip grazes the entire profile of the wheel, giving it a unique shine.
