    My bad, the two you see were 422 with one wheel repair and shipping back to me. The other two should be 50 bucks cheaper. The other two wheels were widen first before the pvd process.

    Man, those wheels look amazing!

    BTW, what's the difference between PVD'ing your wheels and having them rechromed and cleared? Is the PVD more durable or something?

    Marauder wheels aren't chrome to begin with. They're polished aluminium with a clear coat. PVD is an alternative to chrome. It stands for Physical Vapor Deposition and isn't subject to the pitting or peeling of the surface that chrome suffers from.
