Numbered racks
Wheels, hubs and rotors, racked and hand-numbered for a fast match.
Bent rims, seized hubs and warped rotors, matched by bolt pattern, size and offset before you make the trip to the counter.
Chapter 01
A bent rim, a seized hub, or rotors that shudder under braking
A Milwaukee pothole can bend a rim in one hit, and a wheel hub that has gone seized or noisy usually means bearing wear that only gets worse with more driving. Warped rotors show up as a pulse or a shudder through the brake pedal, especially on the highway.
All three are common enough that we keep a steady supply of used wheels, hubs and rotors on hand, pulled from vehicles that came through the yard rather than made to a generic spec.
Used wheel rims on shelving at A & D Truck & Auto Parts, each one hand-numbered with a stock tag.
Wheels racked and numbered, hubs and rotors on their own shelving
Wheels are racked and hand-numbered so a specific size and bolt pattern can be pulled fast, while hubs and rotors sit on their own shelving separate from the tires. Matching a wheel means bolt pattern, diameter, width, offset and center bore all lining up, not just the diameter.
A hub has to match the flange it bolts to, and a rotor has to match its diameter to the caliper it is paired with. Call the counter at (414) 643-1189 with those numbers and we will tell you what is on the shelf before you drive to South 11th Street.
Chapter 03
What to bring before you drive over
Before you make the trip, read the numbers stamped on the back of your wheel or check the size printed on your tire sidewall; both tell us the exact fit we are matching. If you can, bring the old hub or rotor along so we can compare it side by side at the counter.
Dave at the counter would rather look at the actual part than guess from a description over the phone, and it is the fastest way to walk out with the right one the first time.
