2014MallCrawler Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If any of you have owned or do own PVD coated Fuel Offroad wheels you will know they were not coated properly. I am a victim of peeling wheels and fuel will no longer do anything about mine, "time had expired for warranty" I have researched and on other truck/suv forums I am one of hundreds that have had problems. I have talked to a local attorney and if Fuel fails to recall the damaged wheels since its not an individualized issue we could have a class action case against the company. How many others have been affected on here? -Z- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newdude Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Why is this in the 2014 / 2015 / 2016 Silverado & Sierra Issues, Troubleshooting, & Recalls/Service Bulletins? This issue has nothing to do with Chevrolet, GMC, GM, Silverado, Sierra, etc. This belongs in the wheels and tires section as it is an issue with FUEL OFFROAD and their wheels...(no...don't make a duplicate thread either, just get a moderator to move it).

PVD uses physical process (such as heating or sputtering) to produce a vapor of material, which is then deposited on the object which requires coating. PVD is used in the manufacture of items which require thin films for mechanical, optical, chemical or electronic functions. Examples include semiconductor devices such as thin film solar panels, aluminized PET film for food packaging and balloons,and coated cutting tools for metalworking. Besides PVD tools for fabrication, special smaller tools (mainly for scientific purposes) have been developed. Common industrial coatings applied by PVD are titanium nitride, zirconium nitride, chromium nitride, titanium aluminum nitride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASCARWheels Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 PVD is generally used as a chroming substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt the Op posted in the "wrong" section, but was just trying to make users aware of the issue. why do you need to be so negative to his cause? The op was only looking for support, through this forum, and you swept him under the rug. Give a guy a chance...please....before you ridicule and judge....maybe next time you could politely tell the poster he made a mistake and pleasantly point him to the proper forum. This will make for a better and more friendly message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
