INDEPENDENT PROCUREMENT

About SpokeGate Sourcing

Our role is to help US business buyers turn a wheel reference into a purchasing brief and compare what different suppliers propose. SpokeGate Sourcing provides independent sourcing support. We are not a manufacturer or authorized dealer. We have no affiliation with the referenced brand.

SCOPE AT A GLANCE

Who owns each decision

Procurement service
SpokeGate Sourcing helps organize requirements, identify potentially relevant manufacturers and make quote assumptions visible. The service focuses on business sourcing for forged, cast and flow-formed alloy wheels.
Buyer
The buyer sets the fitment constraints, acceptable substitutions, budget and delivery requirement. The buyer’s technical reviewer determines what must be checked on a sample before award.
Supplier
The quoting supplier identifies the proposed plant, wheel part number, drawing revision, material and finish. Written supply terms should define packaging, lead time, inspection and warranty responsibilities.
Evidence owner
An exact-part drawing, test report or inspection record has an issuer and scope. Record those details on the comparison so a general statement about a factory cannot be mistaken for evidence on the part.

EVIDENCE POLICY

Documents to request

  • Fitment evidence. Ask for a drawing identifying bolt circle, center bore, offset, bead-seat width and fastener seat. Confirm which vehicle and brake setup the supplier used when making any clearance statement.
  • Part and process records. Request revision and construction data for the item under review. Compare any test sample description with the part size and configuration in the factory quote.
  • Commercial scope. Obtain written confirmation of quote date, currency, quantity, delivery basis and warranty handling. Keep estimates provisional until the supplier confirms the remaining assumptions.

The Specification Center provides checkpoints for reviewing these documents alongside the inquiry options.

Discuss an alloy-wheel sourcing brief

Share the dimensions and purchasing constraints you have on hand. If an interface remains unresolved, identify the open measurement and the drawing or fitment check that would resolve it.
