American Racing Wheel Procurement Applications

The specification that controls the quote changes with the vehicle, axle and service conditions.

Build the brief around the application

Aftermarket catalog programs

Separate entries by rim diameter, rim width, pitch circle diameter (PCD), center bore, offset and finish. A 5×114.3 pattern with ET35 describes part of the interface. Confirm fastener seat and brake envelope on the vehicle.

Compare forged and cast offers at the same load rating and fitment. Forging may suit a weight target, while a stocked casting can avoid new tooling. Request measured sample mass and check the report against the proposed wheel.

Fleet and commercial replacement

Provide axle position, rim profile, mounting hardware, bead seat and per-wheel load. For tires, add size, load index, speed rating, tread depth, tread pattern, duty cycle, quantity and destination port.

Ask for rolling resistance and wet-grip evidence on the quoted tire size where applicable. For cut-prone routes, weigh carcass and tread suitability against fuel objectives. Compare test conditions before ranking options.

Repair networks and OE cross references

Send vehicle year, model, axle, OE cross reference and any required VIN detail through an agreed channel. Record hub flange dimensions, ABS encoder ring and wheel speed sensor interface, bearing bore and width, and included seals and fasteners.

An integrated hub unit can reduce assembly variability. A serviceable bearing can retain the existing hub where the platform permits, with bearing preload, seal lip orientation and fitting tools managed by the repairer.

Three release checks across programs

  • 01Identify the platform, revision and axle
  • 02Agree the sample measurement and method
  • 03Match SKU documents to the destination market
