it is debuting its Accu-Lite® lightweight aluminum wheel line at
the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky, from
March 31-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,” said Rick Schomer,
Accuride’s 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.”
“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,” explained Schomer. “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!”
Accuride’s 22.5 x 8.25 aluminum Accu-Lite wheel weighs 45
pounds, while the super single Accu-Lite aluminum Duplex weighs 59
pounds.
