Recently forged aluminum wheel usage has been increasingly expanding in trucks and buses for such economic reasons as fuel savings and greater payload due to lighter weight. Several years after forged aluminum truck/bus wheels began to be used in Japan, a demand for stylized forged aluminum truck/bus wheels similar to stylized cast aluminum passenger car wheels arose. Sumitomo Metals, the only manufacturer of large size forged aluminum wheels in Japan, developed stylized forged aluminum wheels for trucks and buses. They will be released in the market by the end of 1989.
