SpokeSupply Sourcing alloy wheel options

Choose a starting point for the RFQ

If the wheel is weight-sensitive, give a maximum finished weight and a load requirement. For a formed barrel, ask which region is formed and how the finished part is identified. For a cast design, ask whether the required mounting geometry is available from an existing tool and how changing the finish affects order minimums.

Keep drawings and units consistent

Provide diameter and rim width in inches, PCD as bolt count × millimeters, signed offset and center bore in millimeters, and load per wheel in pounds or kilograms. Add the lug seat, vehicle and brake envelope. Request a separate line for every axle or fitment so the supplier can specify the drawing revision, sample plan and any hardware required.

Write down the shipment basis

State whether the request is for individual wheels or full vehicle sets and identify how many pieces make up each set. Give the delivery ZIP, the first required arrival date, pallet or carton limits and any planned releases. For mixed finishes, ask whether the minimum applies to the entire order or to each fitment and finish combination.

Keep unknowns visible

Ask for the proposed manufacturer, current production status, exact-part test evidence and written exclusions. A catalog option starts a discussion. A proposed part needs its own dimensional approval and evidence review before the order is released. If you are comparing several factories, carry the same packaging and accessories into each quote sheet.
