Diamond cut alloys or lookalikes?

[Andysmee]

With the current trend to diamond cut spokes but the problems with the lacquer chipping on diamond cut surfaces, has anyone mimicked it by painting the diamond cut surface silver and the rest of the wheel black?

Thinking that a £500+ refurb could bring some older alloy styles bang up to date.

If it doesn't work, can the wheels be returned?!!!

diamond cut aren’t a problem if you lavish as much time as spent cleaning the van on the wheels....But the Wife is about to kill me as I want to swop the bi-colour for just silver

WTF...do I hear. ...

I have been having the same thoughts on diamond cut. I am not the best at cleaning the van, mainly as it just gets dirty again so quick!

Do you have picture of these on your van? Debating satin black on an indium van. Thanks.

Ceramic coating the wheels helps i think

You can wrap the flat of the spokes as a possible trial. Here's one amateur having a go

Entertaining..............skip the first 10 mins unless you need to learn how to remove and wash a wheel.
