Alcoa Wheels Bus Wheels

Bus Wheels refers to the Alcoa forged wheels designed for buses, coaches, and passenger-transport vehicles. They share the brand's one-piece forged construction: superior light weight compared to steel, high strength, no paint, and reduced maintenance. For a bus fleet, the light weight translates into increased payload (more passengers or equipment) and better fuel efficiency, while the clean appearance of polished or Dura-Bright finishes supports the image of transit operators. Offered mainly in 19.5 and 22.5 inches depending on the vehicle, in a hub-piloted mount, they also come with Dura-Bright and Dura-Flange treatments to resist corrosion and flange wear. In Quebec, where buses run year-round on salted roads, Dura-Bright limits the attack of de-icers and makes cleaning easier; the fitment (bolt pattern, bore, width, load rating) must be confirmed according to each bus's hub and axle.
