What changes hands at each stage

RFQ clarification

We review the buyer's vehicle and drawing inputs, including pitch circle diameter (PCD), wheel offset (ET), center bore and load rating. The buyer confirms missing specifications before comparisons begin.

Supplier comparison

We align the scope of each offer by drawing revision, alloy, finish, MOQ, tooling, packing and named Incoterm location. A stock cast pattern may simplify replenishment if available. A custom forged profile may suit a brake envelope or mass target, with separate sample and revision approvals.

Sample coordination

The supplier identifies the sample lot, material route and dimensional drawing. The buyer can choose to keep the sample for finish comparison and ask the inspector to record radial runout and lateral runout at the agreed bead seat locations.

Inspection coordination

The buyer and selected inspection provider agree on lot selection, sampling scope and acceptance limits before inspection. Supplier quality system records and SKU-level test results are reviewed as separate documents.

Shipment preparation

For mixed-container loading, reconcile carton counts, dimensions, destination port and consignee instructions by supplier. One supplier can simplify lot tracking. Multiple suppliers can extend size coverage while increasing the reconciliation work. The buyer appoints its carrier and customs broker.
