AIWT Wheel Academy
You can qualify to fit a tyre, service a car or spray a panel. You cannot qualify in wheels, despite it being a safety-critical component where the wrong offset, the wrong bolt seat or the wrong load rating puts somebody on a hard shoulder. So we built the qualification.
Why the seat matters most
Taper, radius or flat: how to identify each one in your hand, and why a mismatched seat clicks a torque wrench at the right figure while delivering almost no clamp load.
What a spigot ring actually does
The hub bore carries the car; the bolts only clamp it. Why aftermarket wheels are made deliberately oversize, and why a perfectly balanced wheel can still shake at 60.
PCD, offset and plus-sizing maths
Why 2.3 mm of PCD error snaps studs three weeks later, how to measure a 5-stud pattern properly, and how to prove an upsize works instead of hoping it does.
Drills off real vehicle data
Short challenges generated live from our fitment database: real cars, a different set every time, so there is nothing to memorise and nothing worth passing round.
Assessed on a real customer
The final assessment puts you in front of a customer who is vague about their car and worried about the price. You have to actually sell to them, and it is marked on what you said.
A certificate anyone can check
Numbered, valid two years, and listed on a public register. A customer in your reception can verify it on their phone in ten seconds.
