Powdertek can diamond cut?
BMW F80 M3 Competition Pack Silverstone II

Nope. Doing my usual stunt with my cars when the diamond cut lets go. Get them powder coated and not worry about it
What colour?
Yeah was just about to say that recutting polished wheels, if planning to keep long term isn't ideal - had mine done maybe less than a year ago and can see some evidence of worm 
On the look out properly for Revo RV019's now for replacement for when the time comes but that shade of grey is nice!
I have another set of OEM 19's in decent knick so push comes to shove, I can swap them about

Exactly! If I get them redone id say ill get 18 months at best out of them and it will start to creep in again.
Another reason is I am not the first owner of the car so I don't know how many cuts they had before I took ownership of it.
I really like the shade of grey of the wheels above but think with the colour of my car it won't fit so will need something a fair bit lighter.

You can tell by how flat the spokes are iirc. No matter tho if you wanted to cut them later just be a case of taking the powder coat off so not like you’re stuck with them

Wheels refurbished.
Massive thanks to @Tufty for putting me in touch with his brother at Autoworx in Lurgan.
They done a two tone finish to mimic the diamond cut finished.
Very pleased with it.
Need to go to Bavarian during the week to get a set of centre caps then a thorough clean and that’l be it back on the road after winter storage

That looks like a fantastic job tbh.
That looks great. Mine still aren't done but that's a nice finish on them!

What a finish! At first glance you'd think they were diamond cut - not seen that effect before and curious as to what colours were used?

Those look great, mine are done the same. Can I ask what did he charge @AlpineF30 ? PM if you prefer, or tell me to mind my own business also

So car out of the shed and ready to go back on the road.
Caliper on the front right is stuck on to the point the wheel wont move when the car is jacked up.
Great. Will need to get it pulled from the car and check the pistons and seals.

Are you running OEM pads? Maybe pads just stuck to the disc after sitting for a while and a little moisture between them?
