Accuride's Accu-Lite wheel lineup A ccuride unveiled two new aluminum wheels for wide- single tires that are up to 4 pounds lighter than the models they replace, according to the com- pany. With the addition of the Accu-Lite Duplex line of aluminum wheels to its portfolio, Accuride claims it has the lightest-weight range of stan- dard aluminum wheels, based on total weight, in the North Ameri- can commercial vehicle industry. The model 41142, a 22.5 by 14.00 2-inch outset wheel weighs 56 pounds, while the 0.50-inch outset version, model 41140, weighs just 55 pounds. By reengineering the design of these prior Duplex models, Accuride reduced the weight of PN 41660 by 3 pounds and PN 41016 by 4 pounds. The wheels were assigned new part numbers to make it easier to identify them as zero-outset (PN41140) or two-inch-outset (PN41142) wheels. Both 10-hand- hole, hub-piloted aluminum wheels are rated to support a maximum load of 12,800 pounds.
