Alcoa Wheel and Transportation Products, a Cleveland, Ohio-based business unit of Alcoa Inc. has introduced a new wheel with a “retro” look to celebrate 60 years of innovation and technology.
New Retro look wheel from Alcoa Wheel and Transportation
The new Retro Wheel incorporates styling from the past with innovation from today’s technology. Alcoa will offer two new styles for the commercial vehicle aftermarket in a limited edition. Sizes include a 22.5 x 8.25 weighing 53 pounds and a 24.5 x 8.25 weighing 66 pounds. Both wheel styles have hub piloted mounting systems with a load rating of 7400 pounds.
The wheels offer all the advantages of Alcoa innovation including classic styling, one-piece forged strength, true running with better heat dissipation for extended tire and brake life, and a five-year limited warranty. They resist corrosion, so the good looks last and never need painting, thereby reducing maintenance costs.
