Selecting the right commercial wheels and rims for your fleet can enhance fuel efficiency and prolong tire service life, protecting your bottom line. Bauer Built technicians have a wealth of knowledge to help you determine which wheels and rims suit your needs.
When choosing new wheels, it’s important to consider:
The material will also influence your selection. Steel wheels are durable and typically have a higher load capacity. They can be painted or powder coated. Aluminum wheels are more corrosion-resistant, lighter and customizable.
Our semi-truck wheels come from Alcoa Wheels®️️️ and Accuride Wheel End Solutions®️️️, two established manufacturers with reputations for excellence. Alcoa Wheels offers aluminum wheels and Accuride Wheel End Solutions specializes in steel and aluminum wheels and accessories.
Alcoa Wheels focuses on strength and durability, so you can invest in their products knowing they can withstand harsh operating environments. They boast lightweight aluminum wheels that reduce maintenance, lower operating costs and improve productivity.
Their wheels and accessories are designed for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, trailers, buses and motorhomes. Alcoa wheels come in mirror and high polish options to enhance your fleet’s appearance.
Accuride aluminum wheels reduce the overall weight of your vehicle and support heat dissipation to prevent excess wear and tear. Their aluminum wheels create a high-shine visual appeal that can help your fleet stand out on the road.

Their multiple powder coating process ensures your wheels are protected from weather and road debris.
Staying on top of wheel and rim maintenance can help you avoid costly repairs and downtime. Clean, shiny wheels are also more visually appealing than dirt and rust and can enhance your brand image in the eyes of customers.
Implementing a maintenance schedule allows you to identify cracks, bends and other damage that can negatively affect fuel efficiency and driver safety.
