American Force debuts wheel for work trucks
MIAMI (Sept. 5, 2013) — Heavy-duty work trucks designed for function can still look good, according to American Force Wheels Inc., which is releasing a new custom-made dually wheel.
The Miami-based marketer is offering its new "HD" dually wheel—custom-manufactured in the U.S. from 6061 forged aluminum and high-quality materials—in three sizes and two lug fitment configurations.
"The dedicated heavy-duty work truck is often neglected when it comes to customized styling, but not by American Force Wheels," company President Ray Shadravan said. "Our new HD dually design delivers all the function demanded by the hardest working trucks, while still offering a great unique look."
The dually HD is available in 22-inch, 19.5-inch and 19-inch fitments in either a 10- or 8-lug configuration. The wheel's heavy-duty application allows for pairing with commercial-grade semi-truck tires, a combination that provides for longer tire life and increased load-carrying and towing capacity, American Force said.
Available in mirror polish finish, the HD wheels directly bolt on and, the company said, carry a lifetime warranty.
