Default Which alloys are diamond cut?

Also, are starspokes or vikings diamond cut?


The refurb place is asking me and I have no idea!

Diamond cut (aka fine machine finish?) wasn't around in 2004/5. Nearest R75/MG-ZT wheel hub design I could think of would have been 11-spoke.

Vortex were the only diamond cut wheels as far as I know.

Not sure, but I would imagine you can have any wheel diamond cut if there is enough meat on them. Diamond cutting only takes a small sliver off the wheel.
