Like all Alcoa hot forged aluminum wheels, Hot Shot wheels
come with certain built-in advantages:
- One-piece hot forged strength. At a lean 20
pounds, Hot Shot wheels are load rated up to 2780 pounds.
The one-piece design eliminates welds that concentrate
stress where fatigue cracks can start. Hot forging aligns
the metal grain in a uniform direction along the contours
of the wheel, enhancing strength.
- Good looks. Alcoa Hot Shot wheels combine stylish
flare with aluminum shine for looks that dazzle.
- Easy upkeep. Aluminum is naturally
corrosion-resistant. Your good-looking Alcoa aluminum
wheels never need sandblasting, priming or painting.
- Improved handling. Alcoa aluminum wheels weigh
less than comparable steel wheels, lowering the suspension's
unsprung weight. Lower unsprung weight allows faster
suspension response, a smoother ride and improved grip in
cornering.
No one knows more about high
technology aluminum applications than Alcoa. After all, Alcoa
invented the first commercial aluminum truck wheel in 1948.
Today, Alcoa puts that hands-on experience to work for you,
making hot forged aluminum wheels for pickups, sport utility
vehicles, motorhomes, buses, heavy duty tractor/trailers and
more. Find the Alcoa wheels that fit your lifestyle.
