Are your alloy wheels genuine OEM wheels?
Many of the alloy wheels we stock are genuine OEM wheels originally manufactured for vehicle brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, Ford and others.
Individual product listings will provide information about the wheel type, manufacturer and condition wherever available.
If you are looking specifically for genuine OEM wheels, contact us before purchasing and we can help you find the right option.
Do you sell individual alloy wheels or full sets?
Yes. Depending on our current stock, we may have individual replacement alloy wheels as well as complete sets of four.
Individual wheels are ideal if you need to replace a damaged, cracked or buckled wheel without purchasing an entirely new set.
Check the product description carefully to confirm exactly what is included.
Do you sell used alloy wheels?
Yes. TSS Alloys specialises in quality alloy wheels, including used and pre-owned wheels.
Because used alloy wheels can vary in condition, we aim to clearly describe their condition within each product listing.
Some wheels may show normal signs of previous use such as light marks, scratches or cosmetic wear.
Are the photos of the actual wheels I will receive?
Where possible, product photographs show the actual wheel or set being offered for sale.
As many of our wheels are individual used items, we recommend reviewing all available photographs carefully before purchasing.
Can I buy just one replacement alloy wheel?
Yes. We regularly stock individual alloy wheels, making it easier to replace one damaged wheel without having to buy a complete set.
You will need to make sure that the replacement wheel matches the size, specification and fitment of your existing wheels.
Do you sell alloy wheels with tyres included?
Some alloy wheels may be supplied with tyres while others are supplied as wheels only.
The individual product listing will state what is included.
Never assume a tyre is included unless it is specifically mentioned within the product description.
How do I know if an alloy wheel will fit my car?
Several measurements determine whether an alloy wheel is compatible with your vehicle, including wheel diameter, wheel width, bolt pattern or PCD, offset or ET, centre bore, brake clearance and vehicle model or generation.
Matching the diameter alone does not guarantee that a wheel will fit.
If you are unsure, contact us with your vehicle registration or full vehicle details and the wheel you are interested in.
What information should I provide when asking about wheel fitment?
The more information you provide, the easier it is for us to help.
- Vehicle registration
- Make
- Model
- Year
- Engine or trim level where relevant
- Current wheel size
- The product or wheel you are interested in
Photos of your existing wheel can also be helpful when trying to identify a replacement.
What does PCD mean?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter.
It describes the number of wheel bolt holes and the diameter of the imaginary circle running through them.
For example, a wheel listed as 5x112 has five bolt holes positioned around a 112mm diameter circle.
The PCD must be compatible with your vehicle.
What does ET or wheel offset mean?
ET refers to the offset of the alloy wheel.
It is the distance between the wheel's centre line and its mounting face, measured in millimetres.
Using an incorrect offset can cause the wheel to sit too far inside or outside the wheel arch and may lead to clearance or handling issues.
What is the centre bore of an alloy wheel?
The centre bore is the hole in the middle of the wheel that fits over the vehicle's hub.
It needs to be compatible with your vehicle.
In some applications, suitable spigot rings may be used where appropriate, but you should always confirm correct fitment before installing a wheel.
Can two wheels that look identical have different specifications?
Yes. Two alloy wheels can look almost identical but have different widths, offsets, centre bores or bolt patterns.
This is particularly common across different models, generations and specifications from the same manufacturer.
Always check the wheel specifications rather than relying on appearance alone.
Can you help me find a matching wheel for my existing set?
Yes. If you need a replacement for a damaged wheel, send us photographs of the existing wheel along with any part numbers or markings found on the rear of it.
Providing the vehicle registration and wheel size can also help us identify the correct replacement.
Where can I find the part number on my alloy wheel?
OEM alloy wheel part numbers are commonly stamped or cast into the rear of the wheel.
You may need to remove the wheel from the vehicle to see the markings clearly.
The rear of the wheel may also contain:
- Wheel size
- Offset
- Manufacturer markings
- Production codes
- OEM part numbers
What do alloy wheel sizes such as 18x8J mean?
The first number refers to the diameter of the wheel in inches.
The second number refers to the width of the wheel.
For example, an 18x8 wheel is approximately 18 inches in diameter and 8 inches wide.
The letter following the width relates to the profile of the wheel's bead seat.
Can I fit larger alloy wheels to my vehicle?
Possibly, but changing wheel size can affect tyre size, ride quality, handling, brake clearance and speedometer accuracy.
Any alternative wheel and tyre combination should be suitable for your specific vehicle.
If you are changing from the manufacturer's original wheel specification, we recommend getting professional fitment advice.
Can I fit wider wheels to my car?
Sometimes, but wheel width needs to be considered alongside offset, tyre size, suspension clearance and bodywork clearance.
A wheel that is too wide or has the wrong offset may rub against suspension components or bodywork.
What condition are your used alloy wheels in?
Condition varies from wheel to wheel.
Used wheels may show normal cosmetic signs of use including:
- Light scratches
- Kerb marks
- Paint imperfections
- Small chips
- General age-related wear
We aim to make the condition clear through product descriptions and photographs.
Do used alloy wheels have scratches or kerb marks?
Some will.
Used alloy wheels should not be expected to look brand new unless specifically described as refurbished or in exceptional condition.
Any significant visible marks should normally be shown in the product photographs.
Are your alloy wheels refurbished?
Some wheels may have previously been refurbished while others may retain their original factory finish.
Where known and relevant, this will be mentioned within the product listing.
Can used alloy wheels be refurbished?
In many cases, yes.
Professional alloy wheel refurbishment can repair cosmetic damage and restore the wheel's finish.
The appropriate refurbishment method will depend on the wheel's design, finish and condition.
Do you sell diamond-cut alloy wheels?
Yes, we may stock diamond-cut alloy wheels depending on current availability.
Diamond-cut wheels have a distinctive machined face and require specialist equipment if they need to be refurbished correctly.
How do I identify which alloy wheel I have?
Start by checking the rear of the wheel for manufacturer markings and part numbers.
You can also send us:
- Photographs of the front of the wheel
- Photographs of the rear markings
- Your vehicle registration
- Wheel diameter
- Vehicle make and model
We can then help determine whether we have a suitable match available.
Can you identify an alloy wheel from a photograph?
Often, yes.
A clear photograph of the wheel face can help us identify the design, but photographs of the part numbers and markings on the rear of the wheel provide much more reliable information.
Why is the OEM part number important?
An OEM part number can identify the exact wheel specification and application.
This is particularly useful because visually similar wheels may have different sizes, offsets or vehicle applications.

Do I need new tyres when replacing an alloy wheel?
Not necessarily.
If your existing tyre is still safe, suitable and the correct size, a qualified tyre fitter may be able to transfer it to the replacement wheel.
The tyre should always be inspected before being refitted.
Can any tyre fit any alloy wheel?
No.
Tyres are designed to fit specific wheel diameters and suitable wheel width ranges.
The tyre size must also be appropriate for your vehicle.
Should alloy wheels be fitted professionally?
Yes.
We recommend having alloy wheels and tyres installed by a qualified tyre fitter or mechanic.
They can ensure that the wheel is suitable, correctly seated, properly balanced and tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
Do replacement wheels need to be balanced?
If a tyre is being fitted or transferred onto a replacement wheel, the wheel and tyre assembly should normally be balanced before being installed on the vehicle.
What is TPMS?
TPMS stands for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
Many modern vehicles use sensors located within or around the wheel and tyre assembly to monitor tyre pressure.
Are TPMS sensors included with your wheels?
Not unless specifically stated within the product listing.
A used wheel may sometimes still contain a sensor, but you should not assume that it is included or compatible with your vehicle.
Can my existing TPMS sensor be transferred to another wheel?
Often, yes.
A qualified tyre fitter can advise whether your existing sensor can be transferred to the replacement alloy wheel.
