PVD (PermaChrome) vs. Chrome Plating


What is PVD PermaChrome®?

>  The PVD stands for Physical Vapor Deposition.  A Nickel Chrome coating is deposited on the wheels in a extremely thin layer (100,000 times thinner than a human hair) so no significant weight is added to the wheel. This process is also 100% environmentally Green, unlike chrome plating which involves using many carcinogen components, that are banned in many countries. 

> The Process starts with stripping the paint from the wheel and returning the wheel to its original raw aluminum core.  A base powder coat is applied to the raw wheel, then the wheel is placed into a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) vacuum chamber.  The wheel is then coated with an extremely thin layer of chrome nickel that can create either a bright chrome or a black chrome wheel.  The last step involves applying a powdered clear coat over the coating to ensure durability for many years. Unlike traditional chrome plating which will start pitting within six months from salt and brake dust, PermaChrome will never pit or peel even when exposed to harsh elements like salt.

> This technology is not new.  It has been used for many decades in other industries, like computer components, sheet metal, tools, etc. It has just been recently introduced to automotive wheels.  The PVD coating of automotive wheels has already passed car manufacturing OEM specifications.  New cars with PVD wheels will be introduced in the near future.  Below you can compare the benefits of PermaChrome vs. shortfalls of traditional chrome plating. Feel free to call us for more information on the process and products.


PVD PermaChrome® Benefits:
 

1.  WILL NEVER PIT OR PEEL!  Final coat is a clear coat and just as durable as a silver painted wheel.

2.  100x lighter than Chrome plating, which translates into better fuel economy.

3.  PermaChrome is 100% environmentally GREEN. The process has all the looks of traditional show chrome without the use of Hexavalent or trivalent chrome which pollutes the environment. This pollution from the traditional chroming process is so harmful that it has been banned in most countries including Europe and Japan. European and Japanese cars do not come stock with chrome wheels for this reason.

4.  Covers a FULL 5 year or 100,000 mile warranty. Contact us for several references from companies that have used our process for years without a single warranty claim ever made! 

5.  PermaChrome is a true chrome/nickel coating, and not some cheap look-a-like!


Shortfalls of Traditional Chrome Plating:

1.  Chrome plating WILL PIT AND PEEL once salt and brake dust is exposed to the wheel (pitting usually starts within 6 months or less).

2.  Adds an average of 2-3 pounds of weight per wheel.

3.  A known pollutant and carcinogen, Hexavalent chrome has been BANNED in Europe and Asia because it is harmful to both humans and animals. The US is completely banning car manufacturers from using traditional chrome plating, most have already switched to Chrome-Cladding which is a plastic insert glued into a aluminum casting.

4.  Chrome plating is NOT warranted against pitting and peeling (most companies fail to mention this fact).



The Warranty:

Our Warranty is very simple and easy to understand with NO fine print.  Our finish is warranted against pitting, peeling, de-lamination, and dis-coloration for a period of 5 years or 100,000 miles whichever occurs first.  In the event a warranty claim is filed we will ship you a replacement wheel or wheels until your wheels are re-coated.  We will then ship your re-coated wheel(s) back to you and arrange pick-up of our loaner wheels.  We will pay for all shipping fees, both ways.  

We will not come up with creative ways to find a reason to not warranty your wheels, except for a few exclusions noted below.

What is not covered under warranty? Any type of Impact caused from mounting and balancing, pot holes, and curb rash. Any type of abrasions from scrubbing wheels with sandpaper, steel wool or similar or extremely abrasive materials.  For example; please do NOT use a wire brush to get road tar off you PermaChrome Wheels.  Soap and water is all that is needed to keep these wheels looking new for years after your purchase.

With every set of wheels purchased we will include a copy of our warranty and PermaChrome wheel care instructions.  Contact us if you would like to review these documents before you purchase.

We are committed in providing you an easy & hassle free buying experience.
