Dark grey background looks better than a lighter finish IMO, the contrast really sets it all off.

Rob your wheels are'nt diamond cut, they are polished.

The Volkswagen wheels are diamond cut, and you can only diamond cut wheels with straight edges no curves or lumps.

Are you wanting existing wheels diamond cut to give a better finish, or are you wanting to buy a new set thats diamond cut?

If your wanting an existing set re-cut i'd say it wont be cheap as they will have to make a cnc program for your wheels i'd say......

I doubt they CNC it. I have seen it advertised at about £50 a wheel.
