AIWheelTech vs Wheel-Size.
Wheel-Size is a global wheel and tyre fitment database, launched in 2015, covering more than 250 makes and 60,000 vehicle modifications in 14 regional markets. It sells a REST API from a free sandbox to $450 a year for production use, a wheel configurator API and an official MCP server for AI assistants. AIWheelTech’s API works in any market, because fitment follows the model and chassis, not the country: it matches each vehicle against a live catalogue of wheels and tyres with trade prices and stock, finds UK cars straight from their number plate, adds DVSA MOT history, and scales from 1,000 free calls a month to Enterprise bulk delivery. A business that wants the longest vehicle list today, or the lowest price for fitment data alone, is better served by Wheel-Size. A retailer, wholesaler or platform that wants fitment tied to wheels and tyres it can sell is better served by AIWheelTech.
Where AIWheelTech is stronger.
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.
Any market, any volume
Fitment follows the model and chassis, so it holds wherever the car is sold. Premium covers 100,000 calls a month, and Enterprise adds bulk data delivery and the trade product feed, all priced on the page.
Number plate lookup in the UK
Wheel-Size searches by make, model and year. AIWheelTech does that for any market, finds UK cars straight from their number plate and adds DVSA MOT history.
Monthly, no annual commitment
Wheel-Size plans bill yearly. AIWheelTech is free for 1,000 calls a month, then monthly with no minimum term.
