While there are lot of companies involved in OE alloys and would depend from car to car, Biggest manufacturer of Alloys (OE or otherwise) is Hindalco (Aditya Birla Group company) and they are also providers for OE alloys in most Tata Cars.

IMO (and I may be wrong here!), Most after-market alloy companies design wheels and then get these made/manufactured from a company like Hindalco. So, Neo or Aura are just designers whereas Hindalco is the manufacturer. Once again, I may be grossly wrong here and more learned people could maybe shed more light on this subject.

Welcome to Neo Wheels

Nope these companies like Neo do make their own Alloy wheel, though they may be procuring the Raw Aluminium and Magensium from companies like hindalco etc as they are not into producing the raw material itself.

Hindalco is the source for raw materials for alloys which different companies buy from them.Hindalco themselves also make alloy wheels and also are OEM for TATA motors till now before some difference during first anniversary problems with alloys supply.dont know current situation.

Looks smashing except for the aftermarket looking alloys!
Whoa! The dash screams of Aston Martin! But they could have done up the seats and the dash in the same leather colour.

Fantastic! Other manufacturers should learn about how a special edition can be like.

I never thought i'd say this about a tata car, but the interiors are simply awesome. (atleast in the pix) Hope the quality is good too. Definitely worth the extra cahs over the regular model. The alloys loo terrible thiugh. This car needs larger wheels.

Superb looking interiors! They should make these interiors available on the regular Aura variant or at least on the upcoming Ignis!

After looking at these pics, I am just curious to know if the new Manza would offer something similar!
