Promising the appearance of upgraded aluminum wheels at standard aluminum wheel prices, Accuride Corp. has made an enhanced finish standard. The new finishing process produces a semi-polished appearance on unpolished wheels, according to the company. It’s now standard across the company’s entire line of aluminum wheels, except for small diameter trailer wheels.

Double Coin has expanded its commercial truck tire line. New to Double Coin are a FR605, FD405 and FT105 fuel-efficient tires in steer, drive and trailer positions respectively. The company also unveiled a new RR202 tire for mixed service applications, which it describes as an ultra-premium five rib highway service tire. Double Coin also introduced its RR680 and low-profile RT600 to round out its regional all-position steer tire line-up. And for off-the-road applications it has come out with the 3700R57 tire for mining and other severe-service applications. Double Coin also introduced a North America-wide Government Fleet Net Pricing program, which offers special pricing for federal, state and local government entities and municipalities. For details, talk to a Double Coin dealer.
