How to Specify Dura-Bright® Surface Treatment
Product specification begins with answering basic questions, such as the number of bolt holes, bolt circle diameter, hub bore, wheel sizes, and more. After those questions are answered, additional options – like the Dura-Bright® Surface Treatment – can be chosen.
When considering the purchase of a dura bright wheel, it is imperative to verify that the part number concludes with ‘DB’. This suffix is crucial, as it signifies the Dura Bright variant of the wheel. In the specifications guide, ‘DB’ is the abbreviation for Dura Bright, which distinguishes it from other wheel options. Therefore, confirming the presence of ‘DB’ at the end of the part number is paramount to ensure you acquire the desired Dura Bright wheel.
