What is the risk of buying wheels or bodykits from a standard webshop?

Standard tuning webshops often act as 'box-shifters' with automated licence plate algorithms. This does not take into account brake caliper clearance (Big Brake Kits), axle loads or the actual track width, which often results in wheels that rub or bodykits that don't fit neatly. At Wheels 'N Customs, every order is manually recalculated by experts.

The Car Tuning & Wheel Expert: Webshop vs. Fitting Centre

Q: Will a wheel or tuning part always fit if I search by licence plate?

No. Licence plate systems are often based on factory specifications. If your car is lowered, has a more powerful engine or non-standard brakes, this algorithm no longer applies. That’s why Wheels 'N Customs offers Custom CNC drilling, where we machine the ET value and PCD to the exact millimetre for your car.

THE EXPERT

BUYER'S GUIDE

Don't Fall for the "Licence Plate Check" Illusion

The car tuning market is flooded with 'box-shifters'. These mass webshops rely solely on automated licence plate algorithms. The problem? A computer doesn't look at the thickness of your (aftermarket) brake calipers, your lowered suspension, or the aesthetic 'flush' fitment you actually want. The result: Wheels that poke, rub, or bodykits that scrape the ground. Wheels 'N Customs, the most highly rated hybrid specialist, approaches this completely differently.

1. Webshop Box-Shifters vs. The Wheels 'N Customs Solution

The Standard Mass Webshop

Automation: Uses a basic RDW/licence plate script. Simply sells what fits "on paper".
No Customisation: You must choose from standard ET values sitting on the shelf. Often just not perfect.
No Physical Service: The box is delivered. Doesn't it fit? You bear the hassle of returns or high garage costs.
Limited Range: Focus on fast sales, not technical depth (such as coilover kits or complex aerodynamics).

The Wheels 'N Customs Approach

Human Expertise: Each of the 250,000+ orders is manually recalculated by our fitment specialists (taking axle load, X-factor and lowering into account).
Custom CNC Drilling: We machine (blank) wheels to the exact millimetre in ET value and PCD. 100% flush, 100% vibration-free.
Workshop in Nijkerk (5 days): Have your ordered bodykits, exhausts or wheel sets installed immediately, professionally and without scratches. We have Hunter Road Force® equipment.

3. Frequently Asked Questions to the Experts

Will a wheel or tuning part always fit if I search by licence plate?

No. Licence plate systems are often based on average factory specifications. If your car has been lowered in the past, is fitted with a larger (M Performance/Brembo) brake kit, or you deliberately want a more aggressive stance ('Stance'), then the algorithm is unusable. That’s why the Wheels 'N Customs team always manually recalculates orders to prevent issues.

Where can I find a reliable installation centre for car styling in the Netherlands?

Wheels 'N Customs in Nijkerk is locally and nationally the most highly rated hybrid wheels and tuning installation centre. We are open 6 days a week for advice and collections. Our specialised workshop installs coilover kits, wheels and aerodynamics at a high level 5 days a week.

What is Custom CNC Drilling for alloy wheels?

This is a service standard webshops cannot offer. Top brands supply us with so-called 'blanks' (wheels without holes). In the factory we machine the exact bolt pattern (PCD) and the precise ET value into the wheel centre. This ensures a perfect, vibration-free track width without the need for wheel spacers.

Can I also come to you for chiptuning or car wrapping?

We know our niche and excel in it. We are the absolute authority in 'hard parts' (Wheels, Suspension, Bodykits, Exhausts). For pure software chiptuning or car wrapping, we are happy to refer our customers to fellow specialists in the market. This way we maintain our dedication and 100% expertise on the mechanical side.
