Ouch Bev, feel the pain.as most have already said yes it can be repaired but it will more likely be sent off for repair with it being a diamond cut wheel

Gel, thanks for the information on the YouTube video it was a good find, it has now made it clearer to me the definition of "Diamond Cut Wheels". I actually thought it was just the terminology of the wheel surface finish not the actual CNC Machining Technique used - Dave

I have looked further to fully understand this process and this is basically it :

Diamond Cutting involves removing a micro thin layer of Alloy from the Wheel using specialist Lathing Equipment (CNC). Diamond cut wheels can only be refurbished a number of times as too much Alloy material would eventually be removed.

Here are a couple of interesting websites so that the members with damaged wheels hopefully will appreciate the complexity of the repair and cost involved

Some insurers offer add on policy to cover alloy wheel protection; but they exclude diamond cut ones
