MWheels has launched the next generation of its Xlite and Xbrite forged aluminium 11.75 x 22.5” 120 offset wheels.

Xlite, Xbrite wheel features

Xlite and Xbrite wheels are five times stronger and 40 per cent lighter than the standard steel equivalent. Spin forged from a single aluminium billet using a CNC machine, they undergo a unique manufacturing process. This produces a higher degree of production accuracy and a truer running wheel.

Xlite is available in machined and polished finishes. Xbrite goes through several automated treatment stages which permeate the metal deeper to deliver a wheel with the highest levels of corrosion resistance and shine. Wheels are available in 17.5, 19.5 and 22.5 inch sizes.

The ultimate advantages of operating with forged aluminium wheels including extra payloads, reduced diesel usage, decreased CO² emissions and less wear on surrounding parts, including expensive components such as tyres and brakes.
