Save $150 on PVD Black Chrome with Code CB150

Readers of CorvetteBlogger know we’re big fans of Wheel Craft and the work they do in transforming OEM Corvette wheels into something special. Their PVD Bright Chrome and Black Chrome finishes have become one of the most popular upgrades among C5-C8 owners and for good reason: Wheel Craft offers factory fresh results, outstanding durability, and pricing that is thousands less than GM’s own accessory wheels.

I’ve had Wheel Craft’s PVD Bright Chrome wheels on my 2025 Corvette E-Ray, and the transformation over the OEM wheels with the factory finish is night and day. The Bright Chrome shines in the sun and still looks like Chrome even in low-light conditions, and they clean up easily with just soap and water. When I turn around for that last look before walking away, it’s the PVD Bright Chrome Wheels from Wheel Craft that leaves a lasting impression.

This month, Wheel Craft is putting the spotlight on the finish that’s been getting quite a bit of attention lately: PVD Black Chrome.

PVD Black Chrome isn’t just another black wheel. Black wheels look great on Corvettes with just about any color, but sometimes we find the darker wheel colors can become muted as the details of the wheel’s design become lost. If you have ever taken photos and came away with pics of Corvettes riding on black circles, you know what we are saying.

Wheel Craft’s PVD Black Chrome hits the mark perfectly with a deep, liquid‑metal gloss that still shows off the wheel’s contours and machining. In the direct sun you’ll get a more mirror-like finish, but under softer light it takes on a darker, stealthier tone. Instead of hiding the wheel design, Black Chrome highlights it. Instead of dulling the car’s stance, it sharpens it. It’s an upgrade that looks custom without screaming “aftermarket.”

With Wheel Craft’s PVD Black Chrome Wheels, you can customize the reflectivity of the finish to get just the appearance you are longing for. You can go Black and reflective, or push the boundaries for a mirror-like reflection that will make your Corvette stand apart from the crowd.

It’s the perfect choice for the owner who wants a striking, low-maintenance, and long-lasting premium finish that stands out and protects better than painted or powder-coated wheels.

And because they are created through the process of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition), you’re not dealing with the drawbacks of traditional chrome plating. PVD creates a hard, inseparable bond with the wheel which provides superior resistance to scratches, chips, brake dust etching, and corrosion. PVD Black Chrome also outperforms traditional black powder coats which is prone to chipping, fading due to UV degradation, and discoloration from hot brake dust. PVD is harder and more durable than standard chrome and that means its resistant to corrosion, pitting, and peeling.

PVD Black Chrome wheels also clean easily with just soap and water. No harsh chemicals or frequent polishing needed. They resist tarnishing and brake dust buildup better. Painted wheels require more careful cleaning (especially to avoid etching on clear coats) and may need sealants or touch-ups over time.

As with all their performance finishes and custom tints, Wheel Craft offers a best-in-class five-year warranty on all their PVD wheels. The only thing that isn’t covered is your driving!

Whether you’re driving a C5, C6, C7, or C8, Wheel Craft has refinished thousands of OEM wheels across all generations. But C8 owners in particular have really embraced Black Chrome — especially Z51, Z06, and E‑Ray owners looking for something more upscale than the factory Carbon Flash or Gloss Black options.
