I've read up on the definition and I suspect they are but are my current wheels categorically diamond cut?

They don't look like they are pal
Diamond cut is machine finished on a lathe
 
The face of those wheels are meant to be diamond cut
 
Diamond cut, you can see tiny groves like those in a vinyl record from where the cutter was as the wheel was spun. They're then lacquered over. Yours look like they've been refurbished where the refurbisher can't recut the surface so has just smoothed and painted them.
 
I'll do another picture as these ones I got are very low res which I've reduced further to attach!
 
It's all CD's now don't ya know................................


Apparently they're also a thing of the past. :eek:
 
Massive help wanted...

Guys took my cls out for drive and it gave massive vibrations and shake when hitting even minor bumps on road...

Parked and saw that there is literally no gap between front tyres and the car body (pic attached) - rear side seem ok.

Not sure how this happend. Car was totally fine last week when i last drove. Had MOT done last month and service (inc health check up) done 2 weeks ago - all green.

Really stressed. Can someone pls inform what might have happened? What need changing? Approx cost? Best garage to see in south east london?

Budget is very tight so cheapest way out will do. Thanks in advance guys.

Possibly Spring Broken or Snapped.
 
Springs are allegedly matched to the options (weight) fitted to your car. MB genuine are not that expensive so well worth asking the dealer.
 
Thanks.

I just googled and it says it might also be a shock problem. Shocks are coming out very expensive.

Is there any reccomended garage in south east london which is reasonable and reliable? I dont want to get shocks changed if it is only spring problem.

I have attached the pic again for experts to review.
