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.
