What’s New
Productivity has reached a new level with the new vHub™ Bore Technology. The vHub™ Bore Technology reduces hub-to-wheel contact area by up to 64% versus other aluminum wheels on the market, leaving less surface area for corrosion to form.

With Alcoa® Dual Valve wheels, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) are more efficient than ever. With a second valve stem the TPMS sensor can operate on one valve while air pressure is serviced on the other.
