RFQ clarification
Confirm center bore, wheel offset (ET), brake envelope and finish. Record open items beside the buyer drawing.
Verification and coordination
American Racing Procurement Services
A drawing, a size list or an OE cross reference can start the review. We coordinate supplier quotations, samples, inspection and shipment paperwork for an agreed set of parts.
Four parts of a sourcing review
Quote comparison
Separate tooling, unit cost, sample fees, packing and the named Incoterm. Match each line to a SKU and revision.
Sample and inspection
Coordinate trial fit and an agreed inspection. Confirm who will record radial runout, lateral runout and any finish exceptions.
Shipment file
Reconcile SKU labels, carton counts, gross weights and destination instructions before goods are handed to the carrier.
Illustrative procurement scenarios
Where quotation assumptions diverge
Stock replenishment or a custom offset
Consider a distributor comparing a stock wheel and a custom ET35 option. Ask for the same wheel load rating and brake envelope in both offers. The stock quote can simplify replenishment if clearance and finish match. A custom quote should separate tooling and sample timing from the production schedule.
One source or a mixed-supplier shipment
Consider a catalog program that needs several bolt patterns. One source can simplify the approval file. Multiple sources may cover more fitments, but each needs a separate sample and label check. Group cartons by supplier lot so an inspection discrepancy can be traced before loading.
