Kenworth Proprietary 10-Spoke Wheel Introduced with New Kenworth T680

Kenworth Truck Company is introducing a new Kenworth proprietary, 10-spoke forged aluminum wheel in conjunction with the launch of the Kenworth T680.

"No detail, including wheels, was overlooked with the unveiling of the Kenworth T680," said Erik Johnson, Kenworth on-highway marketing manager. "This premium, 10-spoke Kenworth wheel possesses a distinctive, high-end and quality look. It's a fabulous option for fleets and drivers that like to keep their trucks looking great."

The durable and lightweight Kenworth wheel features a no-polish, easy-maintenance Alcoa Dura-Bright®* surface treatment. It is easy to keep the wheel shiny and sparkling clean with just soap and water. No need to scrub or polish to keep them looking like new.

A 22.5-inch Kenworth 10-spoke wheel will be summer 2012, followed later by a 24.5-inch wheel.
