Davin Wheels Introduces Revolution 5.0


PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Davin Wheels, the originator of spinning wheel, is
returning to its classic chrome look with Davin Revolution 5.0. After
becoming the first company to introduce authentic wood materials and
carbon fiber to custom wheels, Davin is once again reinventing its
inaugural Revolution line with a design reminiscent of the popular 3.0
series. However, the new 5.0 series is updated with platinum and gold
inlays at the end of each spoke that include the Davin logo and Patent
No. 6,554,370, which the company was awarded in April 2003. The United
States Patent and Trademark Office recognized Davin as the originator of
the continuous motion wheel in April 2003.

 

As with previous generations of the Revolution line, the 5.0 series
features 4-piece forged construction, a soft-lip outer rim and
Davin-inscribed assembly bolts. The protective coating for the anodized
aluminum screens also has been improved this year to prevent oxidation.
Revolution 5.1 is available in 19 inch and 20 inch diameters for luxury
sedans and coupes and the 5.2 series is available in 22 inch and 24 inch
diameters to fit luxury trucks and sport utility vehicles.

 

"After four years in the industry, Davin continues to distinguish itself
from the competition," said Darius Billings, director of marketing,
Davin Wheel Company. "With the Revolution 5.0 we have evolved the
traditional chrome look and continue to possess features not found in
the market: the oval logo cap, limited edition serial number, and most
important, Patent No. 6,554,370 - which truly sets the  Revolution 5.0
wheel apart from all others."

 

Diamond, a 2004 addition to the popular Davin BLAK product line, is also
available. The new spinner style for the sport custom line features an
interconnected, split, five-spoke design. BLAK's Onyx, Abyss and
Midnight Star editions and the Revolution H2, designed exclusively for
the Hummer(r) H2, continue to be available.

 

Davin's wheels feature the strength of a forged aluminum base plus a
forged spinner. Its patented freespin technology creates maximum
rotation both when the vehicle is moving and stationary. Revolution 5.0
and all other Davin products can be purchased at selected distributors
in the United States and Canada. For a list of distributors, please
