The fitted wheel package affects safety, ride, efficiency, ADAS inputs and replacement cost. Current global Coolray material includes 18-inch wheels, but the candidate label governs.
Define the decision
Record all tyre sizes, load and speed markings, brand, model, dates, tread and repairs. Inspect inner and outer sidewalls, beads, tread blocks and wheel barrels. Confirm the spare or repair kit and tools, then check cold pressures and pressure-monitoring behaviour.
Evidence to collect
Mixed tyres, sidewall repairs, old rubber or bent inner rims can be missed in listing photographs. Non-standard size, offset or load rating may create clearance, calibration or registration problems. A reset warning does not repair a leak or failed sensor.
Risk and export exposure
For aftermarket wheels, verify size, offset, load rating, sensor compatibility and clearance. If a tyre has a sidewall repair or the fitted size is unavailable locally, price a matched set before comparing landed value. Keep cosmetic marks separate from safety findings.
Apply it to a candidate
For a used Coolray with aftermarket wheels, compare the installed markings with the vehicle label, inspect the inner rims and confirm sensor compatibility. If the fitment cannot be supported, price a correct matched package before approval rather than accepting an unexplained dashboard reset.
Build the VIN record
Create a dated folder named by VIN. Record label and fitted size, tyre dates and tread, sidewall and bead with source documents, photographs, diagnostic output or inspection results. Keep wheel integrity, tpms function, destination availability as named actions until the responsible reviewer closes them. A replacement vehicle starts a new file rather than inheriting another candidate's evidence.
Independent review
Assign each field to a reviewer with the relevant competence. Technical, legal, shipping and destination questions should not be answered by one general seller statement. If records conflict, preserve both versions and request the exact document, test or image that resolves the difference before payment.
Commercial hold points
Connect payment to evidence. Confirm identity before reservation, condition before final technical acceptance, contract wording before a major transfer and loading condition before handover. A changed VIN, beneficiary, delivery point or accepted exception reopens the relevant approval gate.
Arrival and ownership control
Freeze the odometer, warning state, keys, accessories, body condition and unresolved exceptions before loading. Compare the arrival vehicle with that record before cleaning or repair. Preserve evidence for claims and give the destination workshop the exact version, service and diagnostic baseline.
Compare two candidates on the same boundary
Use identical columns for label and fitted size, tyre dates and tread, sidewall and bead, wheel integrity, tpms function, destination availability. Mark a blank as unknown rather than zero, absent or passed. Attach the source date beside each entry and exclude unverified equipment from value. The better candidate is the one that satisfies the destination task with acceptable evidence and complete cost, not necessarily the newest or cheapest listing.
Record what could change before shipment
Odometer, warning state, software, tyres, seller authority, quotation validity and carrier instructions can change after initial approval. Name the items that require a fresh check before final payment and loading. Keep the earlier evidence as history instead of overwriting it; a visible timeline makes substitutions and late changes easier to detect.
Write the approval result
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold must name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. Approval means the buyer understands the remaining limits; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature or remove destination responsibility.
Record the evidence date and the person who reviewed it. If a candidate changes, repeat the affected checks instead of carrying an earlier approval to another VIN, model year or seller.

Official Geely New Coolray model page ↗Buyer questions
What tyre size does a Coolray use?
It varies; verify the label and applicable specification.
Is tread depth sufficient?
No. Age, repairs, sidewalls, matching and load rating matter.
Can TPMS be checked while parked?
Some faults appear after driving; inspect and scan where appropriate.
