Has anyone bought wheels like the Torque Thrust II with the PVD finish. What is this finish and how does it look in real life? Thanks Larry

I know there are a few members with the pvd finish. If you do a search you should find some threads about them. I went with the standard polished aluminum finish. I take them off once a year and polish them on my work bench with some mothers wheel polish. Not very difficult to do.

I just put them on my orange 77 and love the look. It's got a touch of "black chrome", but not as dark. It seems durable, and the factory says it's tougher than chrome, time will tell!

Put them on my '75 Convertible a couple weeks ago. Love the look and get plenty of compliments.

Before with the stock wheels

Today with the Torque Thrust II's. Looks a lot better. Dealt with All American Tire & Wheel in Knoxville Tn. Great people to work with.
