Accu-Armor™ Aluminum Wheel Surface Treatment

Scratch and Corrosion Resistant | Very Low Maintenance | Ideal for Vocational Use

Accuride’s distinctive new Accu-Armor premium aluminum wheel surface treatment is ideal for applications that require low maintenance and corrosion-resistant performance. Accu-Armor wheels are highly resistant to the kinds of scuffs and scratches that occur during normal wear and should never corrode. This makes them ideal for use in vocational settings where weight sensitivity and low maintenance are key. In addition, the distinctive look has real appeal for those who want a rig that stands out from the crowd.

An alternative to standard SP, AOP, AIP, and ABP polishes, the Accu-Armor Aluminum Wheel Surface Treatment is available on the following Accuride wheels:
