Newer Pvd wheels
Has Ford improved the quality of the newest Pvd wheels for Superdutys. I know previous ones were notorious for flaking and easily damaged?

The PVD process is never going to be as durable as electroplating. It is more like a paint. I don't even know if FoMoCo is still using PVD for the wheels, but if they are, then there you go. I have PVD wheels. They are holding up just fine, but then I don't beat on them.

PVD is not going to improve.

Ford wheels are now made in China and speaks volumes on quality.
