Peterbilt Motors Co is providing Alcoa Dura-Bright aluminum wheels that maintain their exterior finish with minimal cleaning.

Available for all Peterbilt models, the new wheels feature a treatment technology that penetrates the aluminum and becomes integral to the wheel, protecting against oxidation and corrosion. The treatment is not a coating or finish, and thus it eliminates peeling and cracking. High-pressure water from a hose and a mild detergent will clean the wheels of dirt, road salt, brake dust, grease, and oil residue.

Peterbilt is offering Dura-Bright wheels in a high-luster polished version, in sizes of 22.5" × 8.25" and 24.5" × 8.25".
