BUSINESS INQUIRIES

Contact AxlePoint Sourcing

Use the request form to send wheel specifications or describe the vehicle and axle when the drawing is missing. The form is the contact channel for procurement inquiries and follow-up starts with the business email you provide.

Before writing

Collect the current wheel markings and vehicle or axle information. Note whether your team confirmed the bolt pattern and center bore, and whether the required load rating is stated per wheel. Record wheel diameter, rim width and offset with their units. A buyer who needs a mixed fleet purchase can describe each program separately and mark which one is urgent.

In the form

State the number of pieces per part and destination ZIP code, desired receipt date and whether packaging or unloading restrictions apply. Add an optional budget if it helps compare proposals. A budget range and the currency are enough to start a discussion.

After review

Keep your drawing references and any required test document list available for follow-up. When suppliers offer a change, ask them to identify the exact part and deviation. Your fitment reviewer can use the response to decide whether a sample is needed.

Share Fitment Requirements

Give us a short brief that says what the wheel needs to do. An estimate is fine for the order quantity if you identify it as an estimate. If the wheel is intended for one axle position only, include that restriction so it stays visible during quote comparison.

Use an email address that can receive clarification about the application. We may ask for a drawing or the details of the receiving location during follow-up.

If your team is weighing standard coating against a custom finish, state which option meets the service environment and which is a preference. Ask for separate prices and sample timing where the choice could change the minimum quantity. A lower upfront quote may still require a different packaging plan or an additional delivery charge.

For staggered orders, state the first needed receipt date separately from the rest of the order. Identify the delivery ZIP code for each lot and what would make a staged proposal acceptable.
