1. Diameter — start here
18″ is the global volume size for sedans and crossovers: enough tyre choice, affordable freight, fits most taxi, fleet and retail programs. Our stock program concentrates on 18″ because it turns fastest on three continents; 15–26″ are available on production orders.
2. PCD — the bolt pattern
PCD (pitch circle diameter) is the count and spacing of bolt holes: 5×112 means 5 holes on a 112 mm circle. Quick reference for what we stock:
| PCD | Typical vehicles | Common center bores |
|---|---|---|
| 5×112 | Mercedes-Benz, Audi, VW, Skoda | 57.1 · 66.5 · 66.56 |
| 5×114.3 | Toyota, Lexus, Kia, Honda, Nissan | 60.1 · 64.1 · 67.1 |
| 5×120 | BMW, some Land Rover | 72.56 · 74.1 |
| 6×139.7 | Land Cruiser, Prado, Hilux, Fortuner | 106.1 · 106.2 |
| 5×108 | Volvo, Ford, Land Rover (Evoque) | 63.4 · 63.45 |
| 5×150 | Tundra, Sequoia, LC200 | 110.1 |
3. Center bore (CB) — hub-centric vs spacer rings
The bore must match the hub for vibration-free running. A wheel with a larger bore can use hub-centric rings (we supply them free with sample sets); a smaller bore simply will not fit. Our fitment table lists the machined bore per SKU.
4. Offset (ET) — the silent killer
ET is the distance from the wheel’s centerline to the hub-mounting face, in millimetres. Too high and the wheel rubs the suspension; too low and it sticks past the fender. Rule of thumb for our stock: stay within ±5 mm of the OEM offset, and confirm brakes clearance for anything lower than ET35 on 8.5J+ widths.
5. Load rating and certifications
Fleet and Gulf-market buyers should check the load rating stamped on the barrel. Our cast wheels carry ISO/TS-quality program documentation; flow-formed and forged lines come with radial fatigue and salt-spray reports, and JWL/VIA/DOT/SASO documentation is available per mold for regulated markets.
