About American Racing Procurement
What the procurement desk coordinates
- Operating role
- American Racing is an independent China sourcing and procurement coordination service. The name identifies this desk and can also occur in buyer reference requests. We operate independently of the original wheel brand.
- Request baseline
- A wheel brief names the vehicle, rim diameter, rim width, bolt pattern, center bore, offset, load rating and finish. A hub brief adds the OE cross reference, hub flange and ABS encoder ring details.
- Stock and custom
- Stock sourcing can avoid new tooling if the listed size and coating meet the buyer drawing. A custom run can address a missing center bore or finish, with sample approval, tooling costs and minimum order quoted separately.
- Supplier coverage
- A single supplier may simplify drawing and packing control. Several suppliers can cover more fitments or provide a backup, with extra work to reconcile labels, approvals and the mixed-container loading plan.
- Commercial handoff
- The supplier sets its order minimum and confirms lead time after reviewing the specification. The quote should state its Incoterm, named place and revision. The buyer decides which offer and sample to approve.
- Independent parties
- Suppliers handle manufacturing. The applicable issuers handle certification, labs perform testing, brokers handle clearance and carriers handle transport.
How to read the evidence file
- Check the entity, site, activity and validity dates on any supplier IATF 16949 or ISO 9001 certificate.
- For model-specific evidence, identify the issuing party and match the tested size, load and drawing revision to the quoted SKU.
- For sample release, retain the sample identifier, measurement setup and buyer-approved limits for radial runout and lateral runout. Record any remaining exceptions alongside the release decision.
