How long lasts an Alcoa wheel ?
Under normal circumstances Alcoa wheels last 15 years and more. After a few years rim horn wear can occur. For more details on rim horn wear, please contact our Sales Service Center (Contact info).

Is special maintenance required for Alcoa wheels ?

No, but regular maintenance is recommended. Alcoa wheels are non-coated, non-painted. Therefore, cleaning has to be done with specific products. If you follow the right procedures, the luster will stay for years. For further info about cleaning products & procedures, see Alcoa Wheels Maintenance & Care.

Can I paint Alcoa wheels ?
Yes, painting is possible, but not recommended and guaranteed by Alcoa. According to the current coating / painting technologies used, there is no layer that can last forever. In worse cases, the varnish peels off after one year in service. On top of that, the aluminium we use, in its natural status, develops its own oxide layer, which protects the wheel from most corrosive attacks. See Technical Data Alcoa Wheels Care & Maintenance.
