Staying ahead in the rapidly evolving alloy wheel refurbishment industry requires embracing cutting-edge technology that enhances efficiency, precision, and quality.
As we move into 2025, two standout innovations are the DCR Pro Alloy Wheel Lathe and the PaintMatic Alloy Wheel Painting Machine. These machines are set to redefine industry standards and offer unparalleled advantages to professionals in the field.

The DCR Pro is a British-made diamond-cut alloy wheel lathe designed exclusively for refinishing. Its versatility allows it to function as a mobile and static solution, adapting it to various business needs. One of its standout features is its ability to achieve a pristine ‘factory finish’ in approximately 15 minutes, significantly boosting productivity.
Key features of the DCR Pro include:
- Tyre-On Technology: This innovative feature enables technicians to refinish wheels without removing the tyre. It accommodates wheels up to 24 inches with the tyre on and up to 30 inches with the tyre off. This saves time and reduces the risk of damaging freshly repaired wheels during tyre reinstallation.
- Compact and Portable Design: Weighing just 390 kg, the DCR Pro’s compact footprint allows it to fit into small workshops and mobile units. Its operation on a standard single-phase 13-amp household plug eliminates the need for industrial electrical upgrades, facilitating easy installation and relocation within the workspace. The DCR Pro was not only the FIRST in the world to have a mobile alloy wheel, but it is still the ONLY alloy wheel lathe genuinely designed to be mobile. It’s not just a lathe that can fit in a van. We have designed it to work mobile.
- Advanced User Interface: The machine features an intuitive touchscreen interface with step-by-step instructions, streamlining the refurbishment process and minimising the learning curve for new operators.

Complementing the DCR Pro is the PaintMatic, an automated wheel painting and curing machine designed to revolutionise wheel painting processes. Its automation addresses the industry’s skill gap by reducing reliance on skilled painters while ensuring consistent, high-quality finishes.
Key features of the PaintMatic include:
- Automated Precision: The PaintMatic delivers flawless, consistent results by automating the entire wheel painting process, eliminating human error and ensuring uniform application across all wheels.
- Cost Efficiency: The PaintMatic lowers operational costs and increases productivity by reducing the need for skilled labour, making it a cost-effective solution for businesses seeking to enhance their service offerings.
- User-Friendly Operation: PaintMatic’s intuitive controls, designed for ease of use, allow operators to achieve professional results with minimal training, further bridging the industry’s skill gap.
- Tyre-On Technology: By operating with the tyre on, the Paintmatic incorporates our ethos of tyre-on technology, ensuring the process is still time-efficient and finish-friendly.
