Heavy duty truck wheels are most often used on commercial vehicles, although they can be adapted to most trucks in general. These wheels are designed to withstand the rigors of a commercial truck, including construction projects and heavy load carrying. They are also much more capable of withstanding the general abuse that these trucks undergo on a regular basis.
There are a variety of reasons to upgrade to heavy duty truck wheels. Number one, is that they allow you to also upgrade from typical light duty tires to those designed for commercial applications. Commercial tires are capable of supporting a great deal more weight and improve the handling of the vehicle under this extra weight.
Commercial tires mounted onto heavy duty truck wheels have other advantages as well. For one, these tires use a much thicker rubber, making them much more puncture resistant. They can also help improve fuel economy when carrying heavy loads.
