A quickie: Are M Sport 18" alloys NOT diamond/laser cut?
I am asking this as I intend to take out alloy wheel cover with ALA. They don't insure Diamond/Laser or Split Rim alloys.
Thanks.

I have ALA cover for my 19's, I rang them directly to confirm they covered mine, just give them a call with your alloy details and ask them to double check with their underwriters ... get them to email confirmation ..so no confusion later..

The 19" 403 Sport wheels are diamond cut, 18" sport wheels are not, I don't know if this helps at all.

That's correct, the diamond cut 403 19" wheels cannot be insured through ALA.
I've insured my 18" painted ones and got a discount on wheel insurance as I have GAP with ALA. ALA use Revive for smart repairs to alloy wheels. http://www.revive-uk.com/ Now I just wait for Saturday 22nd Dec when I'll be one of the BMW Boyz. Oh, I've decided to keep my GTI for winter driving/commuting. The Beemer will be in partial storage.

Having read their T/C I rang them to confirm if the 19's were covered, the ALA guy went online and obtained the part number for the 19's and then double checked with the underwriters. I have an email saying the 403's are covered?!! I will ring them tommorrow...

I don't know. But I did not order them because I thought they were diamond cut. My GTI has such wheels and they were a nightmare to fix. I had to buy a new one as they are impossible to fix perfectly. Yours look painted.

Some of the pictures seem to show they are machined. Others (like your ones) that they are painted.

F30AN: The 19" 403 have machined faces but are painted inside along the spokes. I checked this at my local BMW Dealer today.

Spoke to ALA. If wheels are machined finish and you've taken up a policy, then you're not covered and they'll happily refund you.
