Thailand has genuine laced motorcycle wheel manufacturing capacity, but it is concentrated in steel rims, spokes, nipples and OEM wheel assembly for volume replacement supply, not in low-MOQ custom or private-label wheelsets. For B2B buyers, that single distinction decides everything: it determines who you should contact, what MOQ you will be quoted, and whether you can get your own hole count, hub spec, finish and branding at all. The list below separates the ten most relevant Thailand-based suppliers and sourcing channels by what they actually do, so you contact the right type of partner on the first email instead of the third.
The Short Answer (TL;DR)
The strongest verifiable Thailand-based laced wheel manufacturers are YOKO Manufacturing (aluminium rims and spokes, own brands plus OEM production) and Union Autoparts Manufacturing (UAM) (steel rims, spokes, nipples and wheel assembly for motorcycle assembly plants). For premium branded rims and tubeless spoke conversions, EXCEL Thailand / RK Thailand is the reference name. Webike Thailand, BikerzBits and TH-Bike are export-friendly channels for comparison and OEM replacement parts rather than factories. If your project needs a small first order, a custom hub, a specific finish or your own brand on the wheel, Thailand is usually the wrong first stop, and a China-based forging and CNC manufacturer is the more practical route.
First, Sort Thai Suppliers by Type, Not by Size
Most sourcing mistakes in Thailand happen because buyers email a marketplace expecting factory pricing, or email a volume OEM rim plant expecting a five-set custom order. Thailand’s wheel supply chain has four clearly different layers, and each one behaves differently on MOQ, customization and paperwork.
| Supplier type | What they actually supply | Customization depth | Best use for a B2B buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rim & spoke manufacturer | Loose rims, spokes, nipples; sometimes assembled wheels | Sizes, hole counts and colours within their existing tooling | Repeat volume programmes in standard sizes |
| OEM wheel assembler | Complete wheels built for motorcycle assembly plants | Low; built to the vehicle maker’s spec | OEM replacement supply, factory-scale contracts |
| Branded rim channel | Named-brand rims and configured wheelsets (e.g. tubeless spoke kits) | Model-specific configurations only | Premium ADV, dual-sport and conversion builds |
| Marketplace / export retailer | Aftermarket and genuine replacement parts, sold by part number | None; you buy what is listed | Product research, small batches, exact-fit service parts |
Read the list below with that table in mind. Several well-known Thai names are excellent suppliers but sit in a layer that cannot do what a custom project needs.

1. YOKO Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
YOKO is the closest direct match on this list for buyers who specifically want a Thailand-based laced wheel manufacturer. The company states on its official site that it operates in motorcycle wheel and motorcycle spoke manufacturing under the YOKO, BANZAI and BUSHIDO brands, that it has been in the business for more than 30 years, and that it provides OEM brand wheel production for customers inside and outside Thailand. Its published standards references include the Thai Industrial Standard (TIS), the Indonesian SNI standard and ISO certification, and the site states an annual production capacity of more than 1.5 million wheels. Webike Thailand listings also show YOKO rims in multiple colours with 32H and 36H spoke-hole options, which tells you the customization is real but tooling-bound.
Best for: OEM and private-label rim programmes, aftermarket rim sourcing, and buyers who want a verifiable Thai wheel-and-spoke factory rather than a reseller.
2. Union Autoparts Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (UAM)
UAM is the most B2B-structured name on the list. Founded in 1982 and based in Samut Prakan, the company describes itself as a manufacturer and distributor of spokes, nipples and steel wheel rims for the motorcycle industry, and as a motorcycle wheel assembler for domestic and overseas assembly plants. That combination of rim production plus assembly is rare, and it is what makes UAM suited to repeatable, factory-scale programmes rather than boutique customization.
Best for: high-volume steel rim programmes, OEM replacement supply, and importers who need a factory partner instead of a retail seller.
3. EXCEL Thailand / RK-THAILAND LTD.
EXCEL is one of the best-known rim names in the motorcycle world, and its official contact information lists EXCEL Thailand under RK-THAILAND LTD. The EXCEL global site identifies the brand as an aluminium motorcycle rim manufacturer, while RK Thailand’s site shows Thailand-market BARTubeless EXCEL wheelsets configured for platforms such as the Royal Enfield Interceptor, Honda CRF250/300, Yamaha WR155 and Honda CT125. For premium off-road, adventure and conversion segments, this is the Thailand name that carries the most brand equity at retail.
Best for: premium rim sourcing, ADV and dual-sport projects, and buyers who want recognised rim branding with Thailand-market availability.
4. Mitkammakon (Bangkok) Ltd., Part.
Mitkammakon is a long-established Bangkok motorcycle parts company with its own site and Thai contact details. Public trade-data listings connect the Mitkammakon name with steel rims and spokes and nipples tied to Union Autoparts production, which positions it as a sourcing and export channel for wheel-related parts rather than an independent manufacturer. It is less transparent online than YOKO or UAM, so treat technical specifications as something to confirm in writing before a volume order.
Best for: replacement rim sourcing, mixed motorcycle-parts orders, and buyers comfortable verifying specs directly.
5. Boushi Thailand International
Boushi is less thoroughly documented than the names above. Its official social channels describe it as a supplier and manufacturer of motorcycle parts and accessories, with references to alloy hubs, casting, stamping, CNC machining, colouring and packing, plus rim products aimed at spoke stability. For sourcing teams it reads as an emerging aftermarket option that should be verified directly on fitment, MOQ and export terms before it enters a shortlist.
Best for: buyers exploring newer aftermarket options and wheel-related components from Thailand.
6. RK Thailand / BARTubeless
RK Thailand earns a separate entry because its BARTubeless EXCEL wheelset range is configured around specific motorcycles rather than sold as loose rims. If your customers are asking for tubeless spoked wheels — sealed spoke wheels that let a rider run tubeless tyres on a laced rim — this is the most directly relevant Thailand channel for ready-configured solutions on platforms like CT125, CRF and Royal Enfield.
Best for: tubeless spoke-wheel conversions, model-specific builds, and custom shops serving ADV and scrambler customers.
7. Webike Thailand
Webike Thailand is one of the country’s largest motorcycle parts marketplaces, with a deep wheel-parts category covering rims, hubs, wheel components and complete wheels. It carries YOKO products and shows concrete detail such as size, colour and spoke-hole count, which makes it the fastest way to see what is commercially active in the Thai spoke-wheel market. It is not a factory, and pricing there is retail, so use it for research rather than procurement.
Best for: product comparison, small-batch orders, and identifying which Thai wheel brands are actually moving.
8. BikerzBits
BikerzBits is a Thailand-based online seller of motorcycle and scooter parts with a strong OEM replacement angle. Its listings include genuine spoke sets and wheel-related parts with Honda and Suzuki references, and it ships internationally. If you need original replacement wheel parts by part number rather than a custom wheelset, this is a practical channel.
Best for: OEM replacement spokes, exact-fit maintenance parts, part-number-driven ordering.
9. TH-Bike
TH-Bike runs dedicated wheel and rim sections showing spoke sets, front and rear wheel sub-assemblies, loose rims and wheel conversion kits for bikes such as the Honda CRF250L, CRF300 and Rally variants. The mix of complete assemblies and component-level parts makes it useful for off-road, motard and dual-sport buyers who order both.
Best for: CRF and dual-sport wheel sourcing, conversion kits, component-level replenishment.
10. Touratech Thailand
Touratech Thailand is narrow but useful for adventure-bike work. Its Thailand webshop lists an EXCEL rim with a spoke set for the BMW F800GS front wheel, which makes it a targeted source for ADV wheel upgrades rather than a broad supplier. Worth keeping on the radar if your customer base is BMW-heavy.
Best for: BMW adventure-bike wheel projects and premium ADV applications.
What Thailand Sourcing Does Well, and Where It Runs Out
Being honest about this saves you weeks. Thailand’s wheel industry grew around domestic and regional motorcycle assembly, which shaped what it is good at.
| Requirement | Thailand supply base | China forging + CNC manufacturer |
|---|---|---|
| Standard steel rims, spokes, nipples in volume | Strong; mature, long-established plants | Available, but not the differentiator |
| OEM replacement wheels for regional platforms | Strong; assemblers already serve those plants | Depends on tooling and drawings |
| Tubeless spoke wheelsets for known models | Strong via branded channels | Buildable to spec, model by model |
| Small first order to test a market | Limited; batch-oriented quoting | Practical; one set minimum (front + rear) |
| Custom hub machining, custom offset or axle | Limited outside existing tooling | Core capability with in-house CNC |
| Your own brand on the wheel (private label) | Possible with OEM-capable plants, volume-dependent | Standard OEM/ODM offering |
| Laced, forged, cast and magnesium from one source | Rare; usually specialised by process | Available from one supplier |
In practice, many importers end up running both: a Thai partner for standard replacement volume, and a custom laced wheel manufacturer for the projects, private-label lines and odd fitments that a volume plant will not take.
Key Factors to Compare Before You Commit
- Manufacturer vs. channel. Ask directly whether they own the production line. Retail channels are useful, but you are paying retail margin and you cannot change a spec.
- Rim profile, diameter and width. Confirm the exact profile, not just the size, because rim shoulder shape affects tyre fit and spoke angle.
- Spoke-hole count and drilling angle. 32H and 36H are common, but hole count must match the hub. Mismatched drilling angles cause spoke fatigue.
- Hub compatibility. Axle diameter, bearing spacing, brake disc PCD, sprocket-side offset and ABS ring position all need confirming before tooling or lacing.
- Tube or tubeless. Tubeless spoke wheels need a sealing system; this is a different product, not a finish option.
- Finish. Powder coat, anodising, polish and plating differ in cost, lead time and how they hold up in humid or salted markets.
- Documentation. Ask what test data or certification the supplier can actually issue, and what your destination customs requires. Do not assume a mark applies to your market.
- Incoterms and packing. EXW, FOB and CIF shift very different amounts of risk and cost onto you. Wheel packing quality decides whether rims arrive true.
What to Prepare Before You Send an Inquiry
Suppliers quote faster and more accurately when the first email is complete. Whether you are writing to a Thai plant or to us, send these:
- Bike model and year, or the target application if it is a custom build
- Wheel size and width, front and rear (for example 21 x 2.15 front, 18 x 4.25 rear)
- Axle diameter and hub width
- Spoke-hole count and, if known, spoke pattern
- Brake disc PCD and disc side, plus sprocket side for the rear
- Tube or tubeless requirement
- Finish and colour, and whether you need logo engraving or your own branding
- Quantity for the first order and expected annual volume
- Destination port and preferred Incoterm
- Any certification or documentation your customs authority requires
If you do not have the fitment numbers, send photos of the existing wheel with a tape measure across the hub and a note of the axle diameter. That is usually enough to start.
Why Buyers Add FLEXIMOTO as a Second Source
FLEXIMOTO is the manufacturing brand of FlexiTech International LLC, operating our own forging and CNC lines in Shapingba District, Chongqing, China. We are a factory, not a trading company, which is why we can take the work that volume plants decline: single-set orders, custom hubs, unusual fitments and private-label programmes.
- Laced, forged, cast and magnesium forged wheels from one supplier — plus swingarms, CNC billet parts and Grade 5 titanium hardware, so a full build ships together.
- MOQ of one set (front + rear) for custom wheels, so you can validate a market before committing to volume.
- Samples in 25–30 days, bulk production in 30–45 days after sample approval.
- Quotes within 48 hours when the parameters above are supplied.
- 3D rendering approval before production, so you sign off on the design rather than on a description.
- OEM and ODM support — your logo, your centre caps, your packaging. See our OEM/ODM service for how the approval process runs.
- Documented inspection before shipment; our quality control process covers dimensional checks, runout and finish inspection.
- Export-grade packing and global logistics to the US, EU and Australia, under HS 8714.10, on EXW, FOB or CIF terms.
If you are already buying standard rims in Thailand, we are not asking you to switch. We are the supplier you add when a customer asks for something the volume line cannot build.
FAQ
Who actually manufactures laced motorcycle wheels in Thailand?
YOKO Manufacturing and Union Autoparts Manufacturing (UAM) are the two names with the clearest public evidence of Thailand-based production. YOKO states it manufactures motorcycle wheels and spokes under the YOKO, BANZAI and BUSHIDO brands and provides OEM brand production. UAM states it manufactures steel wheel rims, spokes and nipples and assembles motorcycle wheels for assembly plants. Most other names on our list are branded channels, marketplaces or export retailers rather than factories.
What is the difference between a Thai rim maker and a wheel assembler?
A rim maker produces the rim itself, plus spokes and nipples in most cases, and sells them as components. An assembler laces and trues complete wheels, usually to a motorcycle manufacturer specification. If you need finished wheels ready to bolt on, confirm the supplier assembles rather than only supplying loose rims, because assembly, spoke tension and runout are where quality problems usually appear.
What is your MOQ for custom laced wheels?
One set, meaning one front and one rear wheel. That is deliberately low so dealers and builders can validate fitment and finish on a real bike before placing a volume order. Pricing per set improves with quantity, and mixed sizes can be combined in one order.
How long does it take to get samples and then bulk production?
Samples take 25 to 30 days from confirmed drawings and 3D approval. Bulk production takes 30 to 45 days after you approve the sample. Surface finish choice and peak season scheduling are the two factors most likely to move those windows, so confirm dates at the time of order.
Can you supply tubeless spoked wheels and put our own brand on them?
Yes to both. Tubeless spoked wheels require a sealed rim design, so specify it at inquiry stage rather than treating it as an option added later. For branding, we support OEM and ODM work including logo engraving, custom centre caps and your own packaging, with a 3D rendering approved before production starts.
Should I source laced wheels from Thailand or from China?
Source from Thailand when you need standard steel rims, spokes and OEM replacement wheels in volume for regional platforms, or ready-configured tubeless wheelsets for known models. Source from a Chinese forging and CNC manufacturer when you need a small first order, a custom hub or offset, an unusual fitment, a private-label line, or laced, forged, cast and magnesium wheels from one supplier. Many importers use both.
