Enkei Supplier Verification

Track which evidence supports the offered wheel, which party supplies it, and which differences need a buyer decision. Enkei coordinates this review as an independent sourcing service.

Prepare your RFQ

  • Vehicle, axle position and OE reference where available
  • Rim diameter, rim width, PCD, ET, center bore and wheel load rating
  • Quantity, finish, target market and destination port

Approval points

From brief to shipment

01

Clarify

Separate essential fitment geometry from alternatives. A 5×114.3 mm bolt pattern alone leaves bore, lug-seat geometry and caliper clearance open.

02

Compare

Compare rim diameter, mass in kg, wheel load rating, sample cost and MOQ at the same named Incoterm point. A stock quote depends on confirmation for the exact SKU. A custom quote should identify drawing approval, sample review and tooling charges.

03

Verify

Record which drawing and finish sample control inspection. Ask the inspector to show radial runout and lateral runout readings by datum, gauge and sample ID.

04

Coordinate

Reconcile SKU and quantities across inspection notes, carton labels and packing lists. Resolve any substitutions with the buyer before cargo handoff.

Evidence matrix

Evidence before commitment

Supplier / site records

Tie the legal entity and production site to the quote. If a supplier submits an IATF or ISO management-system document, record issuer, date, scope and listed address separately from product evidence.

Supplier / drawings

Review the quoted part revision against the approved rim dimensions, wheel offset (ET) and center bore. Require a fresh review for changes to width, offset, alloy process or finish.

Third party / sample check

On the agreed fixture, record the mounting-face datum and where the dial indicator contacts the rim. Rotate the sample through one full turn and record peak-to-peak radial and lateral runout in mm. Record sample ID, gauge and any departure from the buyer-approved procedure.

Supplier or lab / document scope

Where a market or buyer asks for UNECE, SAE or JWL/VIA documentation, match the method and model scope to the actual SKU. Record the report identifier, tested size, issue date and open questions.

Buyer / approval

Record who can approve the finish sample, brake clearance and any drawing deviation. Reopen the decision if the supplier changes the approved revision.

Supplier and forwarder / shipment file

Reconcile carton count, gross weight, SKU and packing configuration with the buyer’s order. In a multi-supplier program, keep each supplier’s batch and packing records separate through consolidation.
