Requirements intake
Separate mandatory dimensions, approval evidence and finish from open preferences. Confirm which reference governs if a photo and a drawing disagree.
Supplier comparison and order coordination
How Accuride sources commercial wheels
We turn your vehicle, duty cycle and fitment data into a consistent request, then coordinate supplier replies, sample checks and shipment records.
What we coordinate
Quote comparison
Request the same rim profile, mounting style, revision, coating and packaging across suppliers. Compare tooling, sample charges and order price separately. For a stock and a custom option, ask both suppliers to price the same pack count and mark the tooling and approval steps that apply to the custom revision.
Sample and inspection
Arrange sample handoff and coordinate third-party inspection if requested. Agree on measurement points and escalation with the buyer before the inspector visits. For wheel runout, record the drawing revision, mounting datum, measurement locations and whether the reading is radial or lateral.
When decisions happen
Brief freeze
Buyer confirms application, axle position, wheel load and destination.
Quote review
Each supplier identifies its drawing revision and assumptions.
Sample disposition
Buyer records approval or an open issue against the sample.
Port handoff
Supplier and forwarder reconcile quantities, packing and document deadlines.
Agree on the release conditions
Set the documents, drawing revision, sample disposition and inspection findings required for release. Where a supplier proposes an alternative, keep it separate until the buyer accepts it. The selected supplier owns production and its product evidence. The buyer retains the release decision.
Put the next order on one brief
Send the sizes, preferred finish and quantities. Include the named destination and say whether inspection, consolidation or document coordination should be quoted.
