Diamond Cutting

Cherished Automotives Ltd offers Diamond Cutting as a premium alloy wheel service, ensuring a superior finish. This precision process involves stripping the alloys to bare metal, sandblasting to remove corrosion, applying powder coat primer and colour and then using a lathe for precise cutting to achieve a diamond cut finish. The rims are quality checked by our skilled technicians to uphold our exacting standards. Finally, the tyres are refitted, inflated to the correct pressure and re-balanced, providing a complete and thorough refurbishment for your alloys.

Standard Refurbishment

We provide a thorough standard refurbishment process for alloy wheels. It begins with stripping the surface coating to bare metal and repairing kerb damage using abrasive disks or welding. After applying powder coat primer and a precisely matched colour coat, the wheels are baked and finished with a protective powder lacquer. Rigorous quality control ensures each alloy meets our high standards before tyres are inflated correctly. Finally, a comprehensive check ensures the refurbished alloys are ready for delivery, ensuring high-quality results.

Client reviews

My DS7 diamond cut wheels were looking tatty with the lacquer coming off so I was put in touch with the chaps at Cherished automotive who powder coated my wheels gloss black. So pleased with the outcome but also the superb friendly service provided by Callum from first point of contact through booking my car in and collection. Can't recommend them highly enough, really competitive pricing and that all important service is a winner in my opinion!!

Pete Turner

All I can say is this, they looked after my very expensive Rays Volks TE37 wheels like it was their own. The craftsmanship is second to none and I can say wholeheartedly they fully deserve their 5 star review. 10000% will be coming back for more paintwork and I absolutely recommend these guys to everyone. They are very knowledgeable and approachable, great bunch of guys and to be honest, I think their work speaks for itself. These guys are going to be huge in the near future, watch this space!
Also, the Mrs approves so that's always a win!!

I took my old motorbike centre stand to Cherished to have it powdercoated, as it was dull and tired looking, just wanted it to look better than it was. Well I'm over the moon with it, so much better than I could have hoped for. It is so smooth and shiny, seems a shame to put it back on my bike. If you have anything at all that you need powdercoating, not just alloy wheels, get in touch with the boys at Cherished. Thank you Callum and Callum.

Aurn Singh Dosanjh

Alloy wheel repair! Our diamond cut alloys had suffered heavy corrosion . After finding Cherished Automotives locally to me, I contacted them and they couldn’t be anymore helpful. They gave me some great advice on my options and so many choices of colour to powder coat. Extremely happy with the outcome and service supplied.

Stuart Creese

They removed the wheels on my Jaguar. Then the tyres, checked the rims for buckle's and damage, powder coated them in Gloss Black refitted the tyres balanced them then refitted them to the car. Also replacing two new Yokohama tyres which I sourced. Thank you very pleased with the work and price.

Tony Aburrow

Callum at Cherished has sorted my specialist car needs out more than a couple times. Not just a skilled mechanic, he has done my bodywork mods as well. From engines & tyres, to spoilers & splitters, this is the place to go for good work and friendly service at cheap rates. Much appreciated.

Ross Morgan

After damaging my alloys, looking at a new set of alloys was so daunting. I was recommended Cherished Automotives and what can I say? My alloys look better than they did before. Saved me a lot of money and service has been outstanding! Would recommend and use again in the future.

Lauren Gilbert
