How does Grip Spec verify used wheels before selling them?

All used wheels go through a multi-point inspection for cracks, bends, previous repairs, structural damage, and authenticity markings. GripSpec confirms model codes, sizing stamps, weight consistency, and finish details before listing them for sale.

Does Grip Spec sell fake or replica wheels?

How do I know if a wheel will fit my car?

You can check fitment by comparing your vehicle's bolt pattern, offset, center bore, and wheel width with the wheel's specifications. If you're unsure, Grip Spec provides free fitment guidance and can recommend sizes that safely clear suspension, brake, and fender components.

What brands does Grip Spec carry?

Grip Spec carries premium brands such as BBS, Volk Racing, Rays, Advan, Titan 7, and other high-end aftermarket manufacturers. We also offer a curated selection of OEM wheels from performance vehicles.

Are used wheels safe to buy?

Yes, used wheels are safe when they are inspected, authentic, and structurally sound. Grip Spec thoroughly checks every used wheel for cracks, bends, welds, prior damage, and abnormal wear before listing it for sale.

Can Grip Spec source wheels that are not listed on the site?

Yes. Grip Spec can help locate specific wheel models, rare sizes, discontinued designs, or special finishes through our trusted supplier network. Requests are free to submit.

What is the difference between forged and cast wheels?

Forged wheels are made from compressed aluminum, making them lighter, stronger, and more durable. Cast wheels are poured into molds and are typically more affordable but heavier. Grip Spec carries both options depending on performance needs and budget.

How do I avoid buying fake wheels online?

Grip Spec confirms the wheel's model code, production stampings, weight, and manufacturer markings. Avoid deals that seem too cheap. Grip Spec verifies each wheel so you don't have to.

Does Grip Spec ship wheels safely?

Do wheels come with center caps or hardware?

Some wheels include center caps or hardware depending on the manufacturer. Each product page clearly lists what's included. Grip Spec can also order new center caps for you. Please contact us to inquire.

How do I clean and maintain premium wheels?

Use a pH-balanced wheel cleaner, soft brushes, and avoid harsh chemicals. Protect finishes with a wheel sealant to prevent brake dust buildup, especially on machined or polished wheels.

Can Grip Spec help recommend wheels for my specific car?
