Send the fitment brief
Include the dimensions you can verify and flag anything that still needs a drawing or supplier confirmation.
Fitment worksheet
Build a brief in four steps
Identify the wheel
Record the wheel marking, axle position, mounting type, rim diameter and width. If dual-mounted, record the current tire size and the spacing requirement.
Lock the interfaces
Use millimeters for PCD, center bore and ET. Confirm the offset sign convention, lug seat and brake envelope on a drawing before sending it for quotes.
Set the evidence gate
Record required wheel load rating and runout method. For sample runout, record the rim marking, agreed fixture and mounting datum, then compare radial and lateral readings at the specified locations with the drawing limits. If a report is needed, ask for its test method, tested model, revision and target market.
Normalize commercial terms
Separate sample and production quantities by size. Ask for the named Incoterm location, packing count, lead-time trigger and any charges excluded from the price.
Decisions to make
Questions before approving a supplier
Should I choose steel or alloy truck wheels?
Compare quoted load rating, wheel mass, corrosion exposure and replacement availability on the same fitment. Request wheel mass in kg at the same load rating and wheel dimensions. Include compatible fasteners and valve position in the review because changing material can also change the installation scope.
When is a custom wheel order worth it?
Stock can work when the existing drawing, coating and rim markings meet the brief. A custom order can resolve a clearance or finish requirement, but adds tooling and sample approval. Price those separately before comparing per-wheel costs.
What if the wheel marking and supplier drawing disagree?
Pause the comparison and record which dimension or revision differs. Ask for a corrected drawing and a sample marked to that revision. Release the purchase only after the responsible buyer confirms the fitment decision.
