Source forged and cast alloy wheels in China with a fitment brief suppliers can quote against. Vossen independently coordinates sourcing, sample review and shipment preparation.

Put 6061-T6 forging, A356.2 casting alloy and flow forming on separate quote lines. Give each supplier the same rim width, offset, center bore and load target so a lower unit price does not hide a different build.
Browse sourcing referencesAsk for the machining drawing, spoke clearance profile and a mass target alongside the 6061-T6 forging callout.
Separate the A356.2 casting alloy, heat treatment and coating requirements from any supplier tooling charge.
Record the barrel forming route, bead seat dimensions and load rating on the sample request.
| Input | What to record |
|---|---|
| Mounting face | Pitch circle diameter (PCD), bolt pattern, center bore and fastener seat geometry. |
| Wheel envelope | Rim diameter and rim width in inches, wheel offset (ET) in millimeters, and the brake clearance drawing. |
| Vehicle load | Model, trim, axle and load rating per wheel in kilograms. Record the target market on the same line. |
| Input | What to record |
|---|---|
| Surface finish | Approved finish sample, color reference, visible surfaces and packaging protection. |
| Sample inspection | Radial runout and lateral runout at the drawing's bead seat location, with a dated report and agreed limits. |
| Test evidence | Supplier report ID, wheel size, test method and SKU or drawing revision covered. |
Record the wheel offset (ET), center bore, load rating and brake envelope against one revision.
Put tooling, minimum quantities, packing and the named Incoterm location on separate lines.
Match the sample ID to the drawing and agree who measures radial and lateral runout.
Reconcile carton labels, quantities and packing list before handing shipment details to the buyer's forwarder.
Split the quote by wheel size and packaging.
Keep finish references consistent across sizes.
Check axle load and brake envelope by platform.
Publish fitment against a reviewed application list.
Match the quoted legal entity and production site to the supplier's records and manufacturing scope.
Tie photos, rim dimensions and measurement locations to a sample ID before buyer sign-off.
Compare the report's SKU, drawing revision and intended market against the order line.
Agree on measurement points, lot selection and acceptance rules before inspection is booked.
Log deviations, finish approval and the buyer's decision for the applicable lot or drawing.
Match carton marks, packed dimensions and counts to the buyer's shipment checklist.
Forging can suit a custom spoke profile or a mass target. A mature cast pattern can reduce tooling exposure. Compare load rating, drawing, sample cost and test scope together before ranking the offers.
Send the bolt pattern with center bore, wheel offset (ET), rim width and brake clearance. A matching PCD leaves the remaining fitment checks open.
A stock pattern may simplify a mixed-size order if the supplier confirms each SKU. Custom tooling can lock a finish or fitment but adds drawing, sample and review decisions. Ask each supplier to separate tooling, MOQ and schedule assumptions.
The supplier identifies the sample and process. The buyer accepts deviations against the approved drawing. A third-party inspector can record dimensions and runout within the agreed scope.
Share the dimensions you know and mark the ones that need supplier confirmation.
