    Our F-Series Wheels are load rated to 8,000 lbs at 130 psi vs our competition wheels which are rated to 7,400 lbs at 130 psi. So Yes - our wheels can hold up to heavy hauling. We have been able to accomplish this via new technology in the wheel business. We utilized a rotary forge press with the world's largest fluidized heat treatment system. By combining these two process' we are able to get the strongest and lightest wheels in their range. You can see more at forgitron com or call us at 803-425-6444 Ext 2630 and we will let you know who the closest distributor is to your area. Thank you for thinking of Forgitron. Posted picture of our F-47 wheel but you can all of them on our website at forgitron com. Please review the F-47 (22.5 x 8.25) and F-56 (24.5 x 8.25) wheel as requested.

    Decent info on your site there, just curious as to why you havent started producing a stud piloted wheel, with the way things are there are starting to be there are more and more older trucks on the road, and honestly its getting hard to find good used wheels.

    You can purchase these wheels from may places, Any Fleet Pride, Truck Pro, Great Dane Service Center, as well as Pilot Truck service centers. Southern Tire Mart also sells the product.

    First off let me say my user id AWS in not in any way affiliated with AWS out of Ohio. It just happens to be my initials. I have done a lot of research on Forgitron and can say I do not believe they are better than Alcoa or Accuride. I can also say I do not believe they are not as good. So what you have is a comparable wheel at a lower price. I have also spoke with Advanced Wheel Sales (AWS) several times and I was shocked. The only rep I spoke with at the company that had knowledge of the industry and was honest about all wheels is no longer there. I don't know what happened but I guess the company didn't like him telling me and others Alcoa, Accuride and Forgitron boils down to a user preferance. The lady I spoke with last to be blunt "could not find her ####### with a funnel". So back to Forgitron. It seems all the major aluminum wheels are close to the same quality. Just the price on some is better

    That works for me!

    Alcoa and Accuride are great wheels so if I can get another great wheel (that's made in the US) at a lower price, I'll buy the Forgitron every time.

    My apologies AWS. Just seemed like an odd coincidence.

    I'm interested to hear more of your research on Forgitron. We sell about 40 a month and have had no complaints.
