Alcoa: Dura-Bright Wheels Now Even Brighter With XBM Technology

(Clacton, U.K./Tyres & Accessories) Alcoa's new Dura-Bright wheels with XBR technology provide customers with wheels that are 53% more reflective and with 74% more image clarity, according to the wheel manufacturer.

In fact, from Sept. 1 Alcoa Wheel Products will officially begin transitioning from to the new system. Alcoa says its new treatment means brake dust, grime and oil residue wash off quickly and easily with a spray of soap and water. As before, Dura-Bright wheels with XBR technology combat liquid road de-icers and chemicals.
