Cover: The wheel showed on the picture stands up against harsh weather, road salts, grime and cleaning agents that can corrode and dull standard commercial truck wheels. The wheel is not coated but underwent a surface treatment that penetrates the aluminum forming a protective shield that becomes an integral part of the wheel. It prevents cracking, peeling and filiform corrosion. (Photo: Courtesy of Alcoa Wheels).
