Part: Wheel rim

Video tutorial

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. When looking at a diamond-cut alloy wheel, you can see some grooves, and when viewed at an angle, you can see a play of colours, resembling a sort of rainbow.

Diamond cutting should not be confused with brushing, which is quite different. Brushing makes the wheel shiny like a mirror; these are very different finishes.
