Independent China procurement
Alloy wheel sourcing starts with the right fit
Send your wheel specification and order mix. Compare supplier quotes against the same dimensions, evidence requirements and delivery terms.
Product sourcing
Three routes to an alloy wheel quote
Choose a route by fitment, intended use and order mix. Finish and spoke profile follow once the mounting dimensions agree.
Cast wheels
Compare existing mold sizes, finishes and carton quantities for repeat catalog orders.
Submit an assortment
Flow-formed wheels
Ask which portion of the wheel is formed and which variant the supplier's report covers.

Forged and cast options on one brief
Use the same target vehicle, load rating and finish across quotes. Request the drawing revision beside each line price.
| Buyer input | Forged program | Cast program |
|---|---|---|
| Fitment | Match rim diameter, rim width, PCD, offset (ET), center bore and brake clearance to the offered drawing. | Check which combinations are available from the existing mold and machining schedule. |
| Validation | Ask the supplier to tie load rating and the test report to the exact design and revision. | Check whether changes in size, offset or spoke geometry fall within the supplier's report scope. |
| Commercial scope | Separate engineering, sample machining and finish setup from repeat-order cost. | Compare stock quantities by finish with any mold or batch charge on custom variants. |
A notation such as 18 × 8.5, 5 × 114.3, ET35 and 73.1 mm describes example geometry. The buyer still needs to specify vehicle, load rating and fastener seat before screening compatibility.

Inspection plan
Third-party when commissioned. Agree the lot definition, sampling plan, measured features and acceptance criteria.
Packing release
Buyer-approved. Link carton marks and protection materials to the approved order lines.
Shipment file
Supplier and forwarder records. Reconcile weights, carton counts and named handover location.
Wheel sourcing questions
Will a matching bolt pattern confirm fit?
PCD only describes the bolt circle. Compare center bore, ET, brake clearance, fastener seat and load rating against the vehicle and wheel drawings.
Can I mix offsets or finishes?
List quantities by offset and finish. Each supplier confirms stock, carton quantities and whether minimums apply separately to each variant.
Can I request a runout check?
Specify radial or lateral runout, the measuring surface, mounting fixture and tolerance source. Record readings on the approved sample and carry the same setup into the inspection brief.
Does a quality system certificate cover the wheel?
Use an ISO or IATF document to assess the named site's management system scope. Request separate evidence for the wheel model and destination requirements.
