Alcoa Wheels Drive New Ford Designs

CLEVELAND--Dec. 2, 20040, 2004--Ford Motor Company will now offer a new line of 20-inch Alcoa wheels as Genuine Ford Accessories for Super Duty trucks.

Referred to as Super Duty Dubs, customers may now choose from five styles of the strong, hot-forged aluminum wheels - from a flared 6-spoke to a wide 5-spoke design. Each is engineered to meet Ford specifications for durability and vehicle dynamics standards. These wheels are now included as a Genuine Ford Accessory by the U.S. automaker.

Ford introduced these Alcoa Forged branded Super Duty Dubs in November at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturer's Association show in Las Vegas.

"Alcoa 20-inch wheels match Ford super duty strength," says Kevin Kramer, President of Alcoa Wheel Products. "Each Alcoa wheel is hot-forged and fully machined from a single aluminum billet, allowing maximum payload and uncompromised towing rating."
