A fitment sheet for a distributor, a fleet and a catalog team starts with different questions. Record the intended vehicle and market before requesting samples.
Compare a stock cast design and a custom 6061-T6 forging using the same rim width, wheel offset (ET), center bore, bolt pattern and load rating. Ask for mass with the same finish and hardware scope. A tooling deposit belongs on a separate line from sample and unit prices.
List the axle, brake package, bead seat and wheel load rating by platform. Send the tire size, load index, speed rating, tread preference and route conditions if the wheel and tire are bought together. If a hub is in scope, add the OE cross reference, hub flange and ABS encoder ring details.
Group by fitment revision before grouping by finish. One supplier can simplify product photos, carton labels and replenishment. Multiple suppliers can cover more platforms but need a shared definition for color, radial runout, lateral runout and carton marks before mixed-container loading.
Confirm the PCD and offset against a drawing that includes the mounting face and brake envelope.
Ask the inspector to record fixture, indicator position, runout and applicable drawing limits against the sample ID.
Have the buyer confirm the destination rules, then match any supplier report to the SKU, test scope and market.
List the platform and intended quantities on each line. A shared rim diameter can still have a different mounting face or brake envelope.
