Define the reference on the truck

Capture the axle position, tire size and any readable wheel markings. The same diameter can be offered with different pilot geometry or offset. Give suppliers an approved drawing or a current reference part number, and ask them to mark every dimensional assumption that needs confirmation. Record wheel diameter and rim width in inches, and label the pitch circle diameter and center bore with their units. A hub-centric installation still needs review of the pilot and fastening interface.

Compare the quote at receiving

Request the quoted part number and revision, pallet count, unit basis, freight scope and warranty process. Have each supplier identify whether it priced bare wheels or included mounting hardware. For a fleet with staggered service windows, compare the arrival date of the first usable lot as well as the full order date. Before using an early sample to release the balance, ask the manufacturer whether the sample and shipment share the same part revision and receiving criteria.

What to carry into quote review

  • Part drawing and revision
  • Exact-part load documentation
  • Scope and delivery assumptions
  • Written acceptance decisions

Send a wheel specification

Share the known vehicle, quantity and destination. Flag any measurements that still need approval so the quote can show those conditions.
