Can I paint Alcoa® Wheels?

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.

What does the roll stamp mean on your Alcoa® wheel?

Country of origin. All Alcoa® wheels are manufactured in the United States, Hungary or Mexico under stringent manufacturing guidelines. These guidelines have been trusted since 1948. Quality control checks are also regularly conducted.
Wheel load rating. This information is critical for driver and passenger safety, as well as wheel/tire longevity.
Date of manufacture. The manufacturing date allows tracking and monitoring of the product warranty.
Maximum cold inflation pressure.
Part number. The part number typically consists of 6 digits and may be followed by two characters. The first five digits represent the wheel family, while the sixth digit indicates the wheel finish. The seventh and eighth characters indicate the surface treatment of the wheel, if applicable. Example part number: 885651DB. This denotes an 88565 wheel family with a Mirror Polish Outside Only and Dura-Bright® Surface Treatment.
Wheel size. Identifying the size of the wheel prevents installing incorrect wheel sizes. Alcoa’s technical staff can assist in advising on the correct wheel specs for your vehicle.
T-DOT certification. The DOT marking indicates that the wheel is manufactured according to the DOT specifications. Letter “T” identifies the association that is dictating the rim profile. In this case, “T” is the Tire Rim Association. Alcoa® wheels may have additional markings in the roll stamp to designate certification in other regions.

See 3-12 Identification Section in Alcoa Wheels Service Manual page 13.

What does the label on the wheel mean?

Historically Alcoa® Wheels 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, High Polish, Mirror Polish, Dura-Bright® and Dura-Black™. If the wheels have Dura-Flange® treatment, an additional label with Dura-Flange® is applied.
In addition, all wheels have the heat indicator label.
