Gorilla Automotive Sourcing by Application
Independent China procurement for aftermarket, fleet and workshop buyers.
Submit a sourcing brief
Start here when the buyer needs to compare dimensional alternatives, several pack sizes or suppliers quoting different trade terms.
Start an RFQWhat each buyer needs to verify
Distributors
Identify mixed SKU quantities, labeling rules and inner-pack multiples. Compare single-supplier consistency against the broader range a split order may offer.
Tire and wheel shops
For clip-on wheel weights, capture the rim flange and clip geometry. For a wheel, add PCD, offset, center bore, load, width, diameter, finish and vehicle details.
Fleet maintenance
For tires, send size, load index, speed rating, tread pattern, duty cycle, quantities and destination port. For a brief marked 225/45R18 95, treat 95 as the load index and ask for the speed symbol and service conditions before comparing two offers.
Catalog teams
For hubs and bearings, include OE numbers or VIN, flange dimensions, ABS encoder, seal, bearing dimensions and installation hardware. Flag which cross references still require verification.
Where two application records can diverge
Integrated hub or separate bearing?
Check the OE service method, hub flange and ABS encoder first. A separate bearing is viable only on the specified serviceable assembly, with the correct seal lip orientation, bearing preload procedure and hardware.
How do I compare tire offers for one fleet?
Compare tread and carcass against the route. Lower rolling resistance and wet grip can pull a selection in different directions. Request comparable data and identify load, inflation and use conditions before judging the trade-off. Ask the supplier to state the measurement method and applicable construction, and check that both reports cover the same operating conditions before using a result as a ranking.
