Supplier matching
Turn the requested wheel construction, width, offset and load rating into a shortlist brief. Ask each supplier to name the legal entity issuing the quote.
Procurement coordination
How Rotiform Sources Wheels
Start with a usable specification, compare like-for-like quotes and agree who owns each decision.
What the desk coordinates
Quote comparison
Normalize pricing per wheel and per set, tooling, sample charges, carton count, currency and named Incoterm location.
Sample and inspection
Confirm drawing revision, part ID, finish and inspection checkpoints before dispatch. Agree the radial runout and lateral runout measurement points and the units to report. The inspector records measurements against buyer-approved criteria.
Consolidation and export
Compare carton dimensions and markings with the packing list. Coordinate document questions with the seller, forwarder and buyer.
How a brief changes the next question
Example · Same bolt pattern, different clearance
A buyer requests 18 × 8J, 5×112 and ET35 for a brake package with a tight spoke envelope. A 5×112 catalog listing is a search lead. Request a dimensioned spoke section and agree on an installer sample check before approving that quote line.
Example · One order, two pack sizes
A mixed order combines two wheel widths. Compare per-wheel and per-set quotes in the same unit and request carton counts by SKU. For example, a quote for 24 wheels and a quote for six four-wheel sets should have the same quoted item count before you compare per-wheel rates. Confirm split shipment or consolidation with the forwarder before pricing freight.
