This is my wheel im thinking of purchasing OEM PVD ( physical vapor deposition) chrome wheels does anybody have any experiences with this type of chrome and how does it compare to triple plated chrome. I really want the chrome look instead of the polished OEM wheels any help would be greatly appreciated the other pic is triple plated chrome

Since I've never heard of the (pvd) process, I looked it up, and it sounds pretty good.

Among the advantages listed on the Wikipedia page it said; "PVD coatings are sometimes harder and more corrosion-resistant than coatings applied by the electroplating process. Most coatings have high temperature and good impact strength, excellent abrasion resistance and are so durable that protective topcoats are almost never necessary."

I have the factory sport wheels, after 7 years they’re peeling something awful. Same thing happened with my previous RT wheels after some time which were factory chrome. I cared for them meticulously, yet I couldn’t prevent the clear coat peeling. Maybe these will hold up better, good luck!
