- Chroming on wheels up to 24”
- Extra cost(s) may apply if wheels are damaged before the PVD coating process
NOTE: This process does not work with existing chrome wheels, only “NON-CHROME” wheels.

- 3 Year Warranty!
PVD COATING BENEFITS
• Affordable cost alternative to Chrome plating
- Wheels are clear coated (chrome is not)
- More durable than traditional chrome
- Easy to clean and maintain the finish
- Brake dust is not statically attracted to the wheel due to powder base coat
- Stands up to road salts and magnesium chloride
- PVD coating performs well in harsh environments, (coastal areas and cold climates)
- Whole wheel is coated inside and out
- PVD coating is not as heavy as chrome plating (lighter wheels)
- OEM approved and tested
- If wheels are curbed or scraped, the wheel can be fixed and re-coated over & over

Nitrogen
Why “Nitrogen” is better than compressed air:
• Nitrogen is a ‘Dry’ inert gas, which creates pure stable tire pressure
• Nitrogen is NOT susceptible to climate or temperature changes
• Nitrogen reduces and virtually eliminates the TPMS indicator light
• Nitrogen filled tires lose 1-2 lbs. of pressure every 5-6 months
• Oxygen/air filled tires lose 1-3 lbs. of pressure “EVERY”month or more
What can PURIFLATETM do for you?
- Proper & stable tire inflation saves 10% – 15% in gas costs per year
- Reduces the chance of tire failure up to 50%
- Increases tire life up to 35%
- Nitrogen filled tires are more stable creating a better ride, handling and braking
- Nitrogen does NOT cause wheel corrosion or internal tire breakdown
- Reduces running tire temperature
- Maintains proper tire pressure reducing tire pressure sensor (TPMS) issues
GOING GREEN
- Over 250 million tires a year are scrapped
•Filling tires with Nitrogen is a huge environmental benefit reducing our carbon footprint
• The US could save 8.3 million gallons of gas per day if Nitrogen is used in tires!
