Freeze the interface
Identify the year, model, trim, axle and brake package. Send diameter, width, PCD, offset, center bore and lug seat as separate fields. If the front and rear differ, give each its own quantity and approval sample.
Supplier matching / Request scope
Comparing quotes vs Work Wheels references
Build a single request that a forged, flow-formed or cast-wheel supplier can quote without guessing about the vehicle, load or finishing scope.
What we help you put into the RFQ
Compare like orders
Ask each supplier for the proposed part revision, sample charge, MOQ by fitment and finish, lead time to dispatch, and price at the same volume. Show freight, duties, packaging and accessories separately in the same currency.
Questions to settle before you compare
What does a Work Wheels price benchmark tell me?
Record whether the reference is priced per wheel or set, and whether it includes caps, hardware or delivery. Carry the same assumptions into the alternative quotes. A retail listing can help frame the budget, while factory terms require their own written scope.
Can I use a Work Wheels VS reference in a neutral brief?
Yes. If the starting point is a Work Wheels VS XV or a Work Wheels VS-KF design, describe which traits matter: lip profile, spoke face, finish, serviceability or size range. Ask for the supplier’s own drawing and construction details. Treat an appearance match and a fitment approval as separate decisions.
What if the seller proposes a different offset?
Keep that response in a deviation column and ask for a dimensional drawing with inner and outer clearance measurements. Send the drawing to the fitment approver before comparing its price with compliant responses.
One request, before and after review
Before / Incomplete brief
“Quote a 19-inch wheel with a deep lip.” The supplier must infer the width, brake clearance, wheel load and whether the order contains separate axle fitments.
After / Comparable brief
Issue one line per axle with the mounting envelope, finish sample, load requirement, quantity and destination. Ask suppliers to mark each line compliant, deviated or pending so gaps stay visible in the comparison.
