Going lightweight for the long haul
Consider your average truck. Switching out conventional steel wheels and tires for Alcoa wheels saves a lot of weight – more than 1,400 pounds, depending on the application. That means you can carry more for longer, potentially using a lot less fuel.
But lightweighting is just part of the story. Alcoa wheels stand up to the toughest conditions – and maintain their good looks despite it all. Our wheels feature precision, single-piece construction forged from just one piece of metal – never welded. This means they’re stronger and perform better than their steel counterparts. And our proprietary finish on our Dura-Bright® wheels makes high maintenance wheels a thing of the past. No more cracks, chips or rust. A quick soap and water rinse is all it takes to bring the shine back to our Dura-Bright® wheels.
Alcoa wheels give our customers the ability to carry more payload and spend less on maintenance – factors that contribute to the bottom line. For truckers, Alcoa wheels are the best-looking wheels on the market, and ones they’re proud to drive all across the world. For us, it means we still lead the industry we created nearly seven decades ago.
