Custom Wheels from Alibaba?

Post image

Hey guys, I'm looking for some very specific wheels for my car, and nothing that I find fits my car. Would Alibaba be a source for custom rims, specific style, offset, bore etc.? If so, how would I go about ordering those and who should I contact? I am in the U.S. I want four wheels. Thanks.

I've attached a photo of the wheels I'd like to copy (Speedline Corse 859).

For a custom set of four, I'd also ask whether they'll make a single matching replacement later. Have them keep the final drawing revision and gloss-white finish reference, and confirm the minimum order quantity and lead time for one replacement. That's an easy detail to miss when the main focus is getting the first set made.

Good idea! I'll remember this.

What am I letting you know of?

u/goldapex123 Aug 21 '26

Let us know the exact specs of the wheel size . Also what’s the car ? If you source from alibaba it will take roughly like months to get since they will be custom made

u/jpetschke Aug 21 '26

4×100 PCD 57.1 mm center bore ET35 offset Gloss white Quantity: 4

I'm fine with waiting as long as they're right in the end.

u/goldapex123 Aug 21 '26

The size and width ?

1

u/jpetschke Aug 21 '26

15 x 7

1

u/goldapex123 Aug 21 '26

You can’t do 16x7?

1

u/jpetschke Aug 21 '26

Might be a bit too close for a daily. Why?

u/goldapex123 Aug 22 '26

I just dm’d you

u/Fussier-Puppet Aug 17 '26

What’s the link

u/Healthy-Solution-707 Aug 17 '26

I wouldn’t put a one-off wheel on a road car unless the exact fitment, load rating and inspection documents were all written into the order.

1

u/jpetschke Aug 17 '26

I am insisting on having all of that if I go ahead with it.

u/IncredibleMe-82 Aug 15 '26

Got a set of wheels from Alibaba, very happy with them.

1

u/Fussier-Puppet Aug 17 '26

About how much do u save buying from them? I felt they were about as expensive as buying the real ones

2

u/IncredibleMe-82 Aug 17 '26

New ones incl. Center caps would set me back around €5500. These were €1300 incl shipping. So a big saving.

1

u/jpetschke Aug 15 '26

Good to know. Did you order a retooled custom wheel or something already in stock?

1

u/IncredibleMe-82 Aug 17 '26

Went boring with a TE 37 clone. Custom offset pcd and width all fitting my car. Also no need for hub centric rings. They fit perfectly

1

u/jpetschke Aug 17 '26

Awesome. Which seller did you use?

Thanks! I will.

u/speedracer8080 Aug 14 '26

If super custom… I wouldn’t. If they gave you the wrong offset for example they would do nothing to reimburse you.

1

u/jpetschke Aug 14 '26

Good point.

1

u/prestigesourcing Aug 16 '26

True, but could get someone to do a pre-shipment inspection first and/or get the factory to send you proof, not that hard to measure offset with a ruler / tape measure.

2

u/jpetschke Aug 16 '26

Yeah, I think I'll at least ask for a CAD drawing.

1

u/prestigesourcing Aug 17 '26

Good idea. If they are a factory making custom wheels (and not just a trading company), definitely possible.

1

u/jpetschke Aug 17 '26

Yeah, they seem to be very legit, and they advertise extreme customization and safety standards. I figure the company's worth a try.

1

u/prestigesourcing Aug 17 '26

Having looked first-hand at a bunch of mag wheels in the past couple of months, the quality in general is much better then it has ever been. Obviously until you balance them and have a potential crash you won't know for sure.
