\"Why

Why Alcoa\u00ae<\/sup> wheels?<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alcoa\u00ae<\/sup> wheels are forged from one solid block of aluminium.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Every wheel starts as a single block of high-strength aluminium alloy.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>
\"Forging<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
With an 8,000 tons press, the block is forged into a wheel shape. Once forged, the wheels are heat-treated to maximize overall mechanical strengths.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>
\"Forging<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Precision machining ensures that each wheel is perfectly round. This reduces runout to a minimum.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
 The ventilation and mounting holes are drilled.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n
The last step is the finishing into \u201cBrushed\u201d, \u201cLvL ONE\u00ae<\/sup>\u201d or \u201cDura-Bright\u00ae<\/sup> EVO\u201d. <\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>
\"Forging<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
The Howmet forging process for Alcoa\u00ae<\/sup> Wheels aligns the grain flow of aluminium with the shape of the wheel. This process results in wheels with unrivalled forged strength that withstand the most severe tests.<\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div>

We are so confident in the durability and quality of our wheels that we give a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

More than 3 times stronger than steel wheels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcoa\u00ae<\/sup> Wheels performed more than 3 times stronger in a deformation test conducted by Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n University, Department of Vehicle Manufacturing and Technology, 2023 compared to the steel wheel of a market-leading brand with the same dimensions and load rate.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
