Surface Treatments
Dura-Bright® EVO
Breakthrough Technology
On most aluminium wheels, a coating is typically a layer of baked powder that sits on top of the wheel surface. When scratched, water and salt will penetrate the coating, resulting in corrosion and further deterioration.
Dura-Bright® ALCOA® WHEELS have a proprietary treatment that penetrates the aluminium and becomes an integral part of the wheel. It will not chip, crack, peel or corrode, like conventional coatings do.

Maintenance is extremely easy thanks to the enhanced protection of the aluminium surface. Regular cleaning with a mild detergent or undiluted Dura-Bright® Wheel Wash will keep the wheels shiny, even after hundreds of washes and thousands of kilometres, reducing maintenance costs.

Road tested
Dura-Flange® ALCOA® WHEELS show no signs of rim flange wear after 386,000 km.
Dura-Flange® wheels are the most appropriate for transport where loads are heavy and prone to shifting, causing the tyre bead to rub against the wheel flange, such as:
Heavy haulage and construction- Tipper applications
- Mixer trucks
- Low loader trailers
We are so confident in the durability and quality of our wheels, we give a 5 year unlimited mileage warranty.
