Wheels and Tyres
Genuine manufacturer wheels identified against the VIN — including discontinued designs and single replacements to match a set — and tyres supplied to complete the job. For garages, bodyshops and specialists.
Genuine wheels
A damaged alloy on an accident repair is a parts-sourcing problem like any other, with one extra complication: the replacement has to match the other three. Wheel designs change between model years and trim levels, finishes vary within a design, and older designs are discontinued and go NLA in the UK while still being supplied elsewhere. We identify the exact genuine wheel — design, size, offset and finish — against the VIN and source it through UK and international supplier contacts, including for discontinued designs and prestige and performance vehicles.
- Single replacement wheels to match an existing set
- Complete sets of genuine wheels
- Discontinued and NLA wheel designs
- Wheel-related genuine parts: centre caps, bolts, locking nuts and TPMS sensors
Tyres
Where a job needs tyres — a replacement wheel fitted with a matching tyre, a set for a vehicle being completed, or a specific manufacturer-approved specification for a prestige or performance vehicle — we supply them to trade customers alongside the wheels. Tell us the vehicle and the specification required and we confirm what we can supply.
How a wheels and tyres request works
- Send the registration or VIN and photographs of the existing wheel, including the inside of the rim where the part number and size are stamped.
- We confirm the genuine wheel design, size, offset and finish for that vehicle.
- We check UK availability, then international supplier contacts for discontinued or unavailable designs.
- You receive availability, price and lead time, with any tyres specified.
- On approval we order and arrange delivery to your workshop.

Wheels, alignment and the rest of the job
A replacement wheel or a new set is the point at which alignment should be checked, particularly after accident repair — see ADAS and wheel alignment. For braking and suspension components on the same job, see mechanical components. Wheels and tyres are supplied to trade customers only; private owners should ask their repairer. See other services or contact us.
Matching finish and wear
A single replacement wheel has to match three others that have been on the car for some time. The genuine wheel in the correct finish is the starting point; on an older vehicle we will also tell you if the finish has been revised since the car was built, so the bodyshop can decide whether to refinish the set. Tyres for a single replacement wheel should match the remaining tyres in size, load and speed rating and, ideally, make and pattern — tell us what is on the car and we will confirm what we can supply.
TPMS sensors and wheel hardware
Replacement genuine wheels for vehicles with tyre-pressure monitoring need the correct sensor, and some marques require sensors to be programmed to the vehicle. We identify the genuine sensor, valve and fixing hardware for the wheel and the vehicle when we quote, so the wheel arrives ready to fit.
Wheels & Tyres: frequently asked questions
Can you find a single wheel to match my customer's existing set?
Yes. We identify the exact genuine design, size, offset and finish against the VIN and photographs of the existing wheel, and source a match — including for discontinued designs.
Do you supply tyres as well as wheels?
Yes, to trade customers, alongside the wheels or to complete a job. Tell us the vehicle and the specification required.
Are the wheels genuine manufacturer wheels?
Yes. We source genuine manufacturer wheels identified against the VIN. If only an alternative is available, we describe it as exactly that before you order.
