Is it possible to get my wheels diamond cut? Anyone had it done? Saw a new shape Golf GTi the other day with diamond cut wheels as standard and now I think mine might look quite good if they were diamond cut...

all thats needed is a fly cutter, simple job for an engineering company when the tyres are off, but unsure on polishing it up after that,
try spit and polish wheels and see if they know

Supposing I did get them Diamond Cut... would I then have the same problems chrome wheels have with being easily damaged by salt and the like? I dont have the time to clean my wheels after every journey the car takes 
Also anyone think they might be able to photoshop my wheels to look diamond cut or is that too hard to do!

Johnny B was the one who had diamond cut 205 wheels - dunno why but he left em pretty abused and after a clean they came up fine looked amazin in the sun
