Maxion Wheels Offers Heavy Duty Forged Aluminum Wheels

Maxion Wheels Offers Heavy Duty Forged Aluminum Wheels

A forged aluminum truck wheel is being added to its extensive steel wheel offerings. Maxion Wheels announced during Heavy-duty Aftermarket Week.
The first aluminum truck wheel available in North American, the new line will start with a 22.5×8.25 wheel available in the early Spring. It will weight 45 lbs., compared to approximately 68 lbs. for a comparable steel wheel.

Three additional sizes โ€“ 24.5×8.25, 17.5×6.75, and 22.5×14.00 โ€“ will eventually fill out the new forged aluminum line, according to Maxion. All will be offered in bright machined and polished finishes.

โ€œMaxion Wheels has been proudly serving the needs of the North American truck and trailer market for almost 100 years,โ€ said Donald Polk, company president for the Americas. โ€œBy adding forged aluminum to our product mix, our steel wheel commercial vehicle customers now have a none-stop alternative for their wheel needs.โ€
