Diamond cut wheels refurb.. Badly needed
« on: April 10, 2010, 12:34:15 pm »
Ok so I have some replica monza 2s that have got diamond cut face and black insert. But the diamond cut face has blistered or "White wormed.. How can I fix this myself withou removing the black. As no regurber in my area or further a field has said they will do it. And the one I found down south has said about £120 a wheel and that's more than thy cost new now..  Any help would be great. I'll try get a pic up soon.

If you've had these replicas for less than 12 months then why can't you get them replaced under warranty?

See if your local garage deals with them if you live far away!

I can only echo what Robin says: try and get them repaired under warranty. Although I not that some sellers of replicas that have diamond cut finishes only give a very limited warranty on the finish.

I used Pristine to do a set of genuine ones a few years ago. They did a good job of it for reasonable money, but their prices may have gone up a bit since then.
Personally I'd just get 'em powdercoated either anthracite or satin black.
