PVD Coating refers to a thin film coating technique where a solid material is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and then deposited onto a substrate (wheel).The PVD process we use for wheels is also called sputtering. PVD coatings have an extreme surface hardness, low coefficient of friction, anti-corrosion, and extreme wear resistance.  PVD coating is used in many industries like plumbing fixtures, Jewelry, orthopedics, surgical instruments, golf clubs, firearms, aerospace and most important; wheels.

The PVD coating process we use on our wheels (DuraChromeTM) is a chrome and  metal coating which allows us to have extreme durability and corrosion resistance.  Once our wheels come out of the PVD chamber they have a powder-coated clear coat as the final layer to ensure the most durable wheel coating available. You can use your PVD chrome coated wheels year round in any environment, even where salt is preset.PVD isnotcapable of producing a "show car" quality finish.  There may be minor imperfections such as orange peel.  We do guarantee that there will be no imperfection that can be seen from 2 ft (24") away with the wheel "in car" position.  

DuraChromeTM is our proprietary brand of PVD chrome coating used on all our bright/black chrome coated wheels.

The PVD process used is the only patented PVD process for wheels called Permastar.  Our DuraChromeTM coating uses no hexavalent chrome yet still provides one of the strongest and most durable wheel coating in the market.   

• DuraChromeTM PVD Coated wheels are about 2-3 lbs lighter than chrome plated wheels.
  
  
• DuraChromeTM PVD Coated wheels are not effected by magnesium chloride and salt which is commonly used on roads during snowy and icy months.  Cold weather elements can eat away at plated chrome causing it to crack, peel and pit.
  
  
• Chrome plated wheels should be removed in the Winter (due to the aforementioned) and can require maintenance during the Summer.  DuraChromeTM PVD is very low maintenance.
  
  
• Chrome is difficult and expensive to re-plate.  DuraChromeTM PVD coated wheels can easily be repaired and re-coated.
  
  
• Chrome wheels typically come with a 1-2 year warranty.  DuraChromeTM Bright PVD comes with our exclusive 3-year warranty.  DuraChromeTM Black PVD comes with our exclusive 1-year warranty. 
  
  
• PVD chrome wheels can potentially have some minor imperfections in the finish such as a little dot or minor orange peel.  We guarantee that any imperfection will not be visible from 2' away with the wheel 'in car' position.
  
  
• Chrome plating uses toxic chemicals whereas DuraChromeTM PVD is an eco-friendly technology.
