How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Aluminum Wheel Scrap had 38 new listings in the last 30 days, fewer than the 45 the month before. When comparing similar offers, the listing date helps identify which one is more current. Check the listing date when evaluating two offers that appear alike.
Is the market busy?
15 of the 75 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new sellers. The group includes both established names with a history of consistent listings and newer ones building their presence. That expands the choice, but newer suppliers have less track record to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Aluminum Wheel Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 30 October 2026 - 534 active listings, 143 buyer requests, 98 source documents, and 796 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Aluminum Wheel Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Aluminum Wheel Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
