Comparing PVD Finish On Wheels To Galvanized Wheel Finish
Question:
Which is the more corrosion resistant?
asked by: Pat S
Helpful Expert Reply:
The PVD or physical vapor deposition that you find on wheels is a tough wear-resistant aluminum coating that is bound to the wheel at a molecular level. It is corrosion resistant until it has been chipped much like chrome plating but harder and more durable.
The galvanized wheels like # AM3S650 will be corrosion resistant because of the zinc coating.
The PVD will actually give you a stronger finish and because of that will give you more corrosion resistance over a longer period of time.
