title: Chromtec™ Wheels
## Background
From November 2015 Technical Change, Kluger Grande adopted Chromtec™ chrome clad 19” alloy wheels.
This design features the use of an alloy wheel with a hard wearing plastic face permanently bonded to the structural backbone wheel that provides the wheel with its overall design and surface finish.
Chromtec™ cladding allows the underlying alloy wheel to be lighter in weight, whilst the hard wearing face provides greater resistance against wear from the elements such as sand and dirt than a traditional chrome plated wheel.
Chromtec™ technology offers the ability to create tighter radii, sharper lines and details by using high-impact composite materials.
