Alcoa® Wheels really are the best wheel on the market today. They are the lightest and the strongest wheel on offer, the wheels have all passed the most severe tests (JWL-T, TUV & LBF) with no issues.
The Wheels are forged from one piece of Aluminium so therefore have no welds.
The Association of European Wheel Manufacturers (EUWA) states that wheels need to be able to sustain load for 1.5 million kilometres of testing. Alcoa® wheels successfully passed this test!
Not only do they look great they also offer a very good weight saving over steel wheels, these wheels used in a weight sensitive operation these will soon pay for themselves.
The 1st Alcoa® forged aluminium truck wheels were produced in 1948 and they made their debut fitted to Mack trucks. Available in 3 different finishes there is a wheel to suit everyone’s needs.
And for the future, in 2013 Alcoa® rolls out the most advanced aluminium wheel alloy in 45 years. The new lightweight alloy, called MagnaForce™, is on average 16.5 percent stronger than the industry standard, Alcoa®'s 6061 alloy, when used within similar applications.

Known officially since 1907 as The Aluminium Company of America it became known by its new official name of Alcoa® in 1998 (Which of course is a shortened version of its full name).
Recycling has now become part of our lives and of course is an everyday occurrence for companies such as Alcoa®, but it’s amazing to think that Alcoa® incorporated their Aluminium recycling company in 1979, that’s really quite an achievement.
In 2005 Alcoa® was named one of the world's three most sustainable corporations, from a global database of 2000. And for the future, in 2013 Alcoa® rolls out the most advanced aluminium wheel alloy in 45 years.
