Petes Get Light Wheels

New Alcoa Ultra aluminum wheels manufactured from a MagnaForce alloy that’s said to provide additional strength and lower weight are now available as a factory-installed option for all Peterbilt heavy-duty trucks.

For truck operators with weight-sensitive applications, the MagnaForce alloy reduces weight without sacrificing strength, and the new Ultra wheels feature the popular polished finish.

Alcoa Ultra wheels are five pounds lighter than previous products (22.5 x 8.25″) and offer the same load rating of 14,600 lb. The new wheels are compatible with air-disc brakes, which are standard on the steering axles of all class-8 Peterbilts.
