Since being rolled out by the Sumerians in around 3500 BC, the wheel has been
constantly re-invented. Today, the main development trends in the automotive wheels
industry centre on producing larger, brighter and cheaper wheels.
OEM\'s also require styling flexibility, reduced weight and high quality from their
wheel suppliers today, and although the North American and European aluminium wheel
market has grown over the past decade, the pace of growth has slowed recently, and
advances in the use of steel has meant that manufacturers of steel wheels can meet
alloy wheel designs head on. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute
(AISI), steel wheels are making a comeback as vehicle makers realise that thanks to
the development of new high-strength steels and improved design and simulation
technology, they can save up to US$200 per vehicle, without making any sacrifice to
quality or performance.
In this fourth edition of the road wheels report, it\'s reviewed the key market
drivers for road wheels, and provides updated market analysis.
We include market share data for steel wheels and cast aluminium wheels, plus we
provide top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through to 2013.
The report also includes exclusive Q&As with senior executives from ArvinMeritor,
