The Journey of a Wheel: From Recycle Back to Your Driveway

Every wheel has a story—and at Rubicon Automotive Group, we make sure it’s one worth telling. When you buy a recycled OEM wheel from us, you’re not just saving money; you’re getting a part that’s been carefully selected, thoroughly inspected, and prepped for a second life on the road.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the journey of a wheel—from salvage to shipping—until it’s back under your vehicle where it belongs.

♻️ Step 1: Responsible Recycling

It all starts with sourcing. We work with trusted partners and dismantling operations to recover OEM wheels from vehicles that are no longer on the road. Instead of letting quality components go to waste, we give them a second chance—keeping materials out of landfills and supporting a more sustainable automotive industry.

🔍 Step 2: Rigorous Inspection

Once a wheel arrives at our facility, our team inspects it for structural integrity, cosmetic condition, and manufacturer authenticity. We don’t guess—we verify. If a wheel doesn’t meet our standards, it doesn’t make the cut.

🧼 Step 3: Cleaning & Grading

Next, we clean and grade the wheel. Whether it’s a daily driver or a premium finish, we label each part accurately so you know exactly what you’re getting—no surprises, no disappointments.

📦 Step 4: Packaging & Shipping

Once a wheel is approved, it’s packaged carefully and shipped quickly. With a wide inventory and fast order processing, we make it easy to get back on the road without delays.

✅ Step 5: Ready for the Road

When your recycled wheel arrives, it’s ready to install—back on a vehicle and doing what it was built to do. Durable, dependable, and dealership-quality—without the dealership price.
