What is PVD ?

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a time tested proven technology that has been used for decades in other industries. It is now available for automotive wheels. This new state of the art process provides a superior alternative to traditional “Chrome Plating”.

Chrome plating is well known for the many problems it has with pitting & peeling of the chrome surface. A PVD coated wheel virtually eliminates those problems.
We guarantee the coating for (5) five full years.

The PVD process is an environmentally friendly method of producing a bright wheel finish that is more durable than traditional chrome plating. PVD finish is also OEM approved

                                  The benefits of PVD Wheel Coatings

Superior Wear Resistance

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Superior Chemical Resistance

Low Coefficient of Friction

Excellent Adhesion

Brilliant Decorative Finish

High Hardness (2nd to Diamond)

Uniform Coating

Will not Chip, Tarnish or Fade

Low Maintenance

Environmentally Friendly Process

The manufacturing process uses recyclable powder coatings for the base and clear topcoat layers.  Sandwiched in-between is a simple metal alloy which is applied under vacuum.  The process does not consume or emit any harmful materials to our air, water or soil.  Because there is no need to control pollutants, the PVD coating process also consumes less raw energy, thus further reducing the environmental footprint.

Unlike the layered metal system of traditional chrome plating, PVD coatings are very light.  On average, the PVD finish can save up to 50% on coating weight alone.  This benefit is quickly realized in overall fuel efficiency for your car.

As educated consumers we strive to make choices that will be a benefit not only today but into the future.  Being light and durable, PVD is the wheel finish of the future.
