Software Solutions for Alloy and Steel Wheel Sellers
A wheel fits a vehicle only if its bolt pattern, offset, centre bore and diameter agree, and a wrong guess costs a heavy return. Sellers online need fitment data that turns a vehicle into a short list of wheels, finishes held as variants and tyre and wheel offered together.
Only show a wheel when its bolt pattern, offset and bore fit the vehicle.
Wheels are chosen for looks and bought for fit. The seller owns the problem when a buyer picks a design that cannot be mounted on the car.
Alloy wheel retailers
A retailer lists many designs and finishes. It fits them in its own bay or through partner garages.
Wheel and tyre package sellers
A seller sells wheels already fitted with tyres and balanced, shipped as sets of four.
Steel wheel and spares sellers
A seller supplies plain steel wheels, covers and spare wheels to garages and fleets.
The workflow for wheels.
- 1
Vehicle to fitment
The buyer gives the vehicle. The catalogue lists wheels whose pattern, offset and bore are within the fitment held for it.
- 2
Design and finish
One design comes in several sizes and finishes. Each combination is its own stock line with its own photograph.
- 3
Package with tyres
The buyer adds tyres in the matching size. The seller mounts and balances them before dispatch.
- 4
Crated dispatch
Wheels are packed to avoid damage and shipped on a carrier that takes heavy, bulky parcels.
- 5
Fit check on arrival
A buyer reports a fault or a mismatch. The order shows exactly which wheel size and vehicle were checked.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Fitment held as separate fields for pattern, offset, bore and diameter
- Wheel variants of size, offset and finish under one design
- Package orders that split into stock, labour and tyres
- Condition records on every return
What we would build for wheels.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- Vehicle fitment data from a supplier, after its terms, coverage and update method are checked
- Shop stock and billing for the counter side
- Carriers for heavy parcels, once API access and rates are confirmed
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- The vehicles you want to cover and your source of fitment data
- Your wheel designs with sizes and finishes

Prove the fitment match
A few dozen vehicles are loaded and checked against wheels that are known to fit before the rest.
Correct from returns
Every mismatch updates the fitment table, so errors are fixed once.
What you receive.
- A fitment table and matching rules
- A variant catalogue for design, size and finish
- A package order flow
- A return inspection flow
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Returns caused by a fitment mismatch
- Wheels returned with damage
Selling at home and abroad.
Wheel standards, load marking and the way sizes are written differ between markets. Rules on wheel changes and road use are checked region by region with your adviser.

Custom software solution
No GullySystem product holds wheel fitment data, so this is custom work. The tyre shop product can still look after stock and counter billing.

Questions about wheels e-commerce.
Can you supply fitment data?
No. Fitment data comes from you or a data supplier. We load it, match against it and flag gaps, and we do not make it up.
Can the site promise that a wheel will fit?
No. It can say the wheel matches the fitment held for the vehicle. The seller or the fitter confirms the final fit.
Can I buy a wheel and tyre together?
Yes, as a package with mounting and balancing priced separately. The tyre must match the wheel diameter and width.
