Wheel Pros

Wheel Pros

Wheel Pros was formed through a series of acquisitions in the automotive wheel and tire aftermarket, though its precise founding date is not publicly documented. Clearlake Capital Group acquired a majority stake in the company in 2017, as reported by PE Hub at that time. The company's headquarters in Henderson, Nevada, anchors its North American distribution and sales operations. The firm's strategy centers on distributing a portfolio of branded aftermarket wheels and tires, including KMC Wheels, Hostile Wheels, and Black Rhino. It targets the replacement and customization market for light trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles. Wheel Pros operates through a multi-channel distribution model, selling to independent tire dealers, automotive accessory retailers, and national accounts. The company also maintains direct-to-consumer e-commerce channels under some brand names. Its sector focus is narrow, limited to the automotive aftermarket. Wheel Pros does not publicly disclose total annual revenue or a professional headcount. No additional offices are listed in its public record. The company's website, linkedin.com/company/wheel-pros-llc, is the primary public-facing resource. No philanthropic foundations or adjacent investment vehicles are known. The company's structural differentiator is its connection to Clearlake Capital, which typically acquires and holds platform companies for 5–10 years and supports them through add-on acquisitions. Wheel Pros functions as a distribution and manufacturing platform rather than a family office or traditional asset manager.
