Accuride Corp. is debuting its Accu-Lite
lightweight aluminum wheel line at the
Mid-
America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky. The event runs
through April 2.
“We are very pleased to introduce four aluminum wheels to
our existing family of Accu-Lite steel wheels, which
continue to be the benchmark for industry-standard steel
wheels,” says Rick Schomer, senior vice president of
marketing and sales.
“For more than 100 years, Accuride Wheels has been the trusted brand in
product technology, delivery and support. It is the
introduction of new wheels such as the Accu-Lite aluminum
line that allows us to maintain this reputation,” he
notes.
“Whether you are looking to save additional weight or turn
some heads, Accuride’s Accu-Lite aluminum wheels offer
exactly what you're looking for – they are the lightest and
brightest in the industry,” Schomer observes.
“We’ve actually reduced the weight of our aluminum Duplex
wheel by 12 pounds and, with our new Ultra-Enhanced Finish,
the wheel’s gloss is measurably superior to competitor
wheels,” he asserts.
The 22.5 x 8.25 aluminum Accu-Lite wheel weighs 45 pounds,
while the super single Accu-Lite aluminum Duplex weighs 59
pounds.
The new wheels are the centerpiece of Accuride’s booth at
the trucking show. The display also has products from the
company’s other divisions, including Gunite, Imperial,
Fabco, Brillion, and Highway Original.
