AIWheelTech vs UK Vehicle Data.
UK Vehicle Data describes itself as a top-level licensed DVLA data company. It sells number plate APIs for vehicle details, MOT history, tyre sizes, batteries, valuations and vehicle images, pay-as-you-go from a few pence a lookup, and its tyre API returns tyre sizes, load and speed index and, in the Extended package, wheel offset, hub centre bore and PCD. AIWheelTech’s API is built around wheel fitment: width and offset windows, PCD cross-compatibility, staggered front and rear setups, and the compatible wheels and tyres from a live catalogue with trade prices and stock, plus MOT history. A business that needs many kinds of vehicle data from a number plate, at a low price per lookup, is better served by UK Vehicle Data. A wheel and tyre retailer that needs to know which of its wheels fit each car is better served by AIWheelTech.
Where AIWheelTech is stronger.
Wheel fitment, not just tyre sizes
UK Vehicle Data’s Extended tyre package returns wheel offset, centre bore and PCD. AIWheelTech adds width and offset windows, PCD cross-compatibility and staggered front and rear setups, which decide whether an aftermarket wheel fits.
Answers with products you can sell
The compatible wheels and tyres come back from a live catalogue with trade prices and stock, not only the sizes that fit.
Ready-made tools as well as data
The vehicle and wheel selector, registration lookup, MOT History and Ally drop onto any website as snippets, so you are not building every screen yourself.
A lookup that turns into a booking
Ally takes the customer from number plate to a quote and a booked slot, in their own language.
