Accuride Corp's 65-lb HSLA lightweight steel wheel provides the economy and strength of a standard steel wheel and weight similar to an aluminum wheel. When replacing a standard 82-lb steel wheel, Accuride's wheel would reduce overall truck and trailer weight by 306 pounds.

Since the wheel has a 10-handhole design similar to industry-standard aluminum, it can replace an aluminum wheel as an inner dual with no appearance change and at a cost savings.

This 22.5" × 8.25" wheel is offered for standard hub-mount applications. It is powder-topcoated in standard white, gray, or black with custom colors available. The wheel has a maximum load rating of 7,400 pounds.
