Importers, catalog teams, fleets and project buyers can use the same brief while keeping different approval priorities visible.
Supply quantities by size, offset and finish, along with the target market and destination port. If you split the range across suppliers, agree a common SKU label, carton mark and inspection reference to reconcile the consolidated packing list.
Compare stock and custom routes on the same drawing. A stock lot can simplify replenishment if the size and finish already match. A custom route can add offsets or finishes, with tooling, sample approval and per-SKU minimums quoted separately.
Map fitment by vehicle, model year and axle. A shared PCD does not resolve wheel offset (ET), center bore or brake clearance. Record the brake package and fastener seat next to any supplier cross reference.
Verify candidate variants against a buyer-approved fitment drawing or a documented sample fit check.
State duty profile, axle configuration, tire size and the vehicle or OEM wheel reference. Confirm the wheel load rating for the application, and ask for the coating specification if de-icing salt or other corrosive exposure is relevant.
Compare supplier replacement availability and stock consistency before choosing a custom fitment with a smaller supplier pool.
Specify drawing revision, sample ID, inspection lot and who signs the acceptance criteria. For a runout check, agree the fixture, clamping method and datum, then list radial and lateral measurements separately. With the wheel mounted against the agreed datum, record the indicator’s maximum and minimum readings over one rotation and compare the difference with the buyer-approved tolerance for that surface.
Compare exact revision and product scope for each report before accepting it for a change in size, offset or geometry.
Check rim diameter and rim width in inches, pitch circle diameter (PCD) and center bore in millimeters, signed offset (ET), brake clearance and fastener seat.
Check load rating per wheel with its unit, duty profile and finish reference. Tie any required test or regulatory file to the model, revision and target market.
Check quantities per SKU, target market, destination port and named Incoterm place. Include any need to combine cartons from multiple suppliers.
A wheel drawing, vehicle reference or current order line gives the desk a place to start. Include the open dimension or approval item that could change the order.
