Outfitting your truck with Alcoa 14-in. wide base wheels in place of dual wheels means you’ll save big on weight, according to the manufacturer – 318 lbs. per axle (when converting from steel dual wheels). That’s up to 1,272 lbs. for the whole rig. Alcoa aluminum 14-in. wide base wheels weigh only 71 lbs. each and are load rated up to 12,800 lbs. But weight isn’t the only reason to choose a wide base configuration. According to the maker, additional benefits include fuel efficiency, tire durability, cooler running, lower maintenance costs, one-piece forged strength and the Alcoa shine. Alcoa forged aluminum wheels resist corrosion, so the good looks last – with no painting, the company added. These wheels are also available in Dura-Bright with XBR Technology finish.
