Alloy wheel scrap overview
Specification
| Attribute | Detail |
|---|---|

| Aluminium content | About 91–93% Al for A356 wheels; not pure aluminium |
| Attachments | Tyres, valves, balance weights, steel inserts and chrome plating listed |
| Preparation | Whole or cut wheels |
| Use | Remelting only; no roadworthiness claim for scrap wheels |
Wheel scrap descriptions
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| Troma | ReMA/ISRI: clean, single-piece, unplated aluminium wheels of a single specified alloy. Free of inserts, steel, wheel weights and tyres. |
| Mixed alloy wheels | Clean aluminium wheels of more than one alloy. |
| Painted or coated wheels | Wheels with paint or powder coat, traded by agreement. |
| Chrome-plated wheels | Kept separate: plating adds unwanted elements to the melt. |
| Unprepared wheels | With tyres, valves or weights still attached; priced with deductions. |
Packaging
| Format | Configuration |
|---|---|
| Loose container loading | Whole wheels hand-stacked in containers. |
| Cut or sheared wheels | Cut sections for denser loading. |
| Bins and stillages | For local or truck deliveries. |
Applications
Secondary aluminium casting alloys, including new wheel castings.
Frequently asked questions
Why are tyres and weights removed?
Rubber, steel and lead or zinc weights contaminate the melt and reduce the value of the aluminium.
What purity is alloy wheel scrap?
Wheel scrap is an alloy, not pure aluminium. A356 wheels contain about 91–93% aluminium, with silicon as the main addition.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product and the lot. The minimum quantity, price and delivery terms are set out in the written quotation.
