PVD chrome wheels?

Anyone run these new PVD chrome finished wheels, How do they hold up compared to chrome plated? I hear they are all season finish wheel, they last longer than chrome plated. How is the shine vs the chrome plated? seems like more and more wheels are using this, but hate to order them and they look like sh!t..

dalpilot just put a set on his new truck...they look pretty bad ass to me. Darker than chrome but not as dark as a black chrome finish.

Isn't that what BMF wheel were? Heard they had issues that that's why they no longer offer anything but black?

These are my new wheels in PVD chrome that just showed up. The shine seems to be the same as my old regular chrome fuel throttles. I havent had a chance to see how they hold up since Im still waiting on my tires to get here but I love the finish on them. Dont mind the ugly center cap, thats getting taken care of

Thanks, I was looking for something different that not everyone had and I loved how clean these looked. These are the new hostile exiles armor plate in 20x12 with -44 offset

I have 2 of the old chrome fuel hostages, and 2 of the PVD chrome hostages..... Were puchased at different times. I like the PVD a little better. Seems to shine a little better. But you'd never tell the difference from 15'

I had the wheels done on my Grand Cherokee. I did not like the factory polished look. I am happy with the way they turned out and they are holding up nicely.
