Wheels are one of the easiest and most inventive ways to enhance the look of a vehicle. Automotive wheels are available in alloy and chrome, standard or custom for all makes, models and years of vehicle. If it has tires, you can change the wheels. Wheels are the top aftermarket item purchased to enhance the look of the vehicle.

Auto wheels can be the difference between a show stopper and blending in with the crowd. To offer the automobile wheels to make your customers' vehicles stand out, you should:

1. Buy standard car wheels wholesale for repair and replacement.

2. Offer the best in decorative chrome wheels and rims for aftermarket upgrades.

3. Connect with sources of custom wheels to meet specific needs.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Get standard auto wheels wholesale for repair or replacement


Stock or locate standard OEM aluminum, steel and alloy wheels for everyday repair and replacement. Arrange with distributors to purchase automotive wheels wholesale; look for discount pricing, deep inventories, quick shipping and helpful customer service.

I recommend: Wheel Technologies specializes in replacement aluminum and alloy wheels for late-model cars, trucks and SUVs. Car Wheels welcomes wholesale orders of alloy wheels and wheel accessories for all car makers. Contact Merit Truck Parts & Wheel for truck wheels. Their customer service department will help you locate hard-to-find, obsolete and custom truck wheels.

Offer custom wheels for aesthetic value and street flash


Aftermarket decorative auto wheels and rims are a popular upgrade, whether for tricking out a hot rod or vintage vehicle or just adding some flair to the basic production vehicle. The best chrome wheels aren't just pretty; they have the durability to provide safe handling and high performance, too.

I recommend: Dayton Wire Wheels has been providing great-looking, maintenance-free wire wheels since 1916. Boyd Coddington is the number one name in automotive wheels design, with more than 25 years of street cred. Chrome wheels designer Chip Foose jump-started his career with Boyd after earning a degree in automotive product design. Today, his cutting-edge Foose Wheels, in original and classic designs, win industry prizes and the hearts of customers.

Connect with suppliers of custom wheels and tires


Help customers meet their needs for specialized automotive wheels solutions by putting them in touch with sources of custom car wheels. Most online suppliers of custom wheels offer visualization tools to help customers see how the custom wheels and tires will suit their vehicles.

I recommend: Halibrand Engineering is a top name in custom wheels for hot rods and racing. Use the Wheel Visualizer online tool at Custom Wheels and Car Rims to help customers choose the right custom car wheels. They carry custom truck wheels, too. The website for American Racing Equipment, a leading supplier of racing, vintage, hot rod and custom SUV wheels, features a visualization tool known as the Carfigurator.
