Alcoa offers wide base aluminum wheels

摘要

Alcoa has launched a new series of wide base aluminum wheels. The new line is engineered for high performance through Alcoa's proprietary LvL ONE wheel manufacturing process of light weighting. These 14" wide base wheels replace dual wheels and reduce overall vehicle weight for improved productivity or increased fuel economy. Now, weighing 58 lbs per wheel with load ratings up to 12,800 lbs, the wide base wheels are the lightest wheels in its class. In fact, switching from single steel 22.5" x 8.25" wheels to Alcoa 14" wide base wheels can reduce the weight of an 18-wheeler by nearly 1,400 lbs.
