The aftermarket offers a wide variety of wheels varying in design and material, such as steel wheels and aluminium alloy wheels, the latter being more lightweight, durable, and fashionable. However, there is a scarcity of alloy wheels with a perfectly balanced composition made with high-quality raw materials, a requirement for a smooth driving experience.
Recognising the alarming need to ensure higher road safety in India, Uno Minda, a Tier 1 supplier of Proprietary Automotive Solutions to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), recently launched its new range of alloy wheels in the Indian aftermarket in collaboration with Kosei Aluminum Co., a Japanese global player in aluminium Alloy wheel design and manufacturing.
These alloy wheels are available in different sizes and designs, as well as compatibility with radial and regular tube tyres. Each category, Sharp, Space, Wonder, Wave, Shark, and Vega, is built to perform and designed to impress in accordance with all quality compliance regulations and guidelines laid out in India.
The key highlight of these wheels is their superior, robust built quality and design, with the integration of Japanese technology. Engineered using LPDC and GDC technology in highly controlled, standardised manufacturing units in India, they ensure longevity, durability, and superior performance.
Being lightweight, they are capable of improving acceleration and road handling, resulting in safer riding while improving fuel efficiency. Furthermore, they are less likely to rust.
Speaking on the occasion, Anand Kumar, Head of Product & Strategy, Aftermarket Domain, Uno Minda, said, “Over the past few years, we noticed that the Indian aftermarket was plagued with substandard alloy wheels, which was compromising road safety in India. Therefore, Uno Minda has launched a premium range of Alloy Wheels as Uno Minda Wheelz on the philosophy of “Built to perform, designed to impress.”
Uno Minda Wheelz are available at all the online and offline retail stores, starting at MRP of Rs. 5,990. They also come with a comprehensive 2-year finish and manufacturing warranty from the date of manufacture, underscoring the company's dedication to customer satisfaction.
