I thought diamond cut alloys where those ones with the really sharp edges?

how u mean? diamond cut is when the lip of the alloy is shiney, not quite chrome, but u can see fine lines on them from where the diamond has cut into them :)

So it's the lip which has been diamond cut? I was thinking of the faces being diamond cut so they kind of merge with the lip i.e:

i think the faces could be diamond cut, but i normally see it on the lip, but looking at the alloys u got inthe photos, might either be diamond cut faces or a chrome effect :) dunno, read more about it i guess

Refurb people don't tend to like diamond cut or polished finishes.....

By definition a polished surface is smooth or has smooth parts, laquer does not stick well to smooth parts which is why pretty much all diamond polished wheels seriously lose their finsh if used daily...

Some people still do it regardless, but they are few and far inbetween!
