Good Morning Everyone,

Quick question about aluminum rims (for heavy haul tractor) -

Alcoa or Accuride - Which is better/lasts longer and doesn't have many issues with cracking?

As always...THANK YOU!!

I didn't find any significant difference.
The only vocal point was the shape and size of cutouts for accessibility.

I have both and never an issue with either. I found the Alcoa's polished out nicer back when I used to do that sort of thing.

First of all, they are NOT on market yet..
But if my opinion is interested- I like them. Although have to look at all paint scheme of the truck and trailer.
Only 1 thing.. I would add some LED's on a side of a truck and trailer for better visibility. Usual aluminum rims reflect some light in a dark.

In any case, good luck with 'em, eh !
