Our Dura-Bright® Wheels Cleaning Guide is available on our website in our product literature library.
See Alcoa Wheel Service Manual Section 3-17 Dura-Bright® surface treated wheels cleaning and maintenance.

Prior to applying cleaning products verify the wheel is at ambient temperature. Apply an approved aluminum wheel cleaner intended for aluminium wheels over the surface of the wheels, inside the hand holes, and around the stud holes. Agitate the cleaner with a soft-bristle (non-metallic) brush, periodically while applying water. Scrub the surfaces of the wheel including inside the hand holes and bolt holes. If the tire is removed scrub the wheel drop center with all-purpose cleaner and a stiff-bristle brush. Rinse wheel thoroughly with clean water. Repeat these steps if necessary. See TMC RP 267 Cleaning Wheels.

For non Dura-Bright® wheels use a non-abrasive aluminium polish.  After you polish the wheel up to the way you want it to look like, apply a coat of car wax on to help seal up the polish.

Alcoa Wheel Service Manual page 7, section 3-2 “Alcoa Wheels does not approve of any form of alteration to wheels except minor cosmetic buffing for appearance purpose.”

No. Alcoa Wheels should not be painted or otherwise coated in any way that may interfere with the mounting surfaces. See Alcoa Wheel Service Manual section 3-2.

Our manufacturing process is such that we only ship and sell a finished product.  The wheel is an extremely engineered component and there is a lot behind it to meet the required safety guidelines. With that in mind, we do not make custom orders and we do not sell an unfinished product.

Alcoa wheels are identified with a stamp that shows the country of origin, wheel load rating, maximum inflation pressure, date of manufacture Month/Day/Year, part number, wheel description and DOT marking designation. Alcoa Wheel identification is usually located 180 degrees from the valve stem on the open side of the wheel. Wheel identification is required by the DOT must be legible. Wheels should be taken out of service if this identification is not legible and scrapped. See 3-12 Identification Section in Alcoa Wheels Service manual online version page 13.

Historically our product labels included a combination of wheel technology and finish names.
Starting with 2020 production, the labels will designate finish names only.
The wheels are identified with one label that identifies the finish of the wheel: Brush Finish, LvL One, Mirror Polish, Dura-Bright. If the wheels have Dura-Flange treatment, an additional label with Dura-Flange is applied.
In addition, all wheels have the heat indicator label.

You can find out by reading the part number on the roll stamp on the wheel. Alcoa Wheel roll stamp is usually located 180 degrees from the valve stem on the open side of the wheel. Example part number ULT391DB. The 6th digit identifies the finish of the wheel. The 7th & 8th digit identifies the surface treatment of the wheel.
