ANTERA's wheels have won numerous accolades from critics, culminating in 1994 with the title of "Alloy Wheel Design of the Year" for the Type 109 three-spoke.
At its launch, the Type 109 created a stir. It was the first truly harmonious and balanced three-spoke wheel, and it took the market by storm. The 109's striking looks have made it a contemporary classic in every sense. In 1994, ANTERA received the award "Alloy Wheel Design of the Year" for design excellence of this wheel type. Today it still ranks among the most memorable wheel designs in the history of alloy wheel design.
Another novelty was the completely under the center hub cap hidden, integrated air valve, routing the air through a channel in one of the spokes into the tire. This innovation led to a completely uninterrupted, balanced surface of the rim. Even at that time, the wheel was already available in sizes up to 10 x 18 inch.
