RimFit
RimFit is an AI-powered wheel visualization tool designed specifically for tire and rim shops. It enables automotive professionals to show customers how different aftermarket rims would look on their specific vehicle in a realistic, interactive manner. Using advanced computer vision and generative AI, the platform can apply custom wheel designs onto images of customer cars, accounting for factors like size, offset, and vehicle model to produce accurate previews. This helps bridge the gap between browsing wheel catalogs and seeing them actually installed on a car. The tool typically works through a web-based interface where shop employees can upload a photo of the customer's car or select from a built-in database of vehicle models. From there, they can choose from a vast library of rim designs—often integrated with real inventory from manufacturers—and instantly generate a photorealistic rendering of the vehicle with the new wheels. Some implementations may also support augmented reality (AR) views, allowing customers to see the wheels in a live camera view for an even more immersive experience. Key features include a comprehensive catalog of rims, compatibility checks with vehicle models, side-by-side comparisons of multiple rim styles, and the ability to adjust wheel parameters like color, finish, and size. The AI ensures accurate scaling and perspective, making the visualizations trustworthy for purchasing decisions. Additionally, the platform may offer tools for sharing visualizations via social media or direct links, enhancing customer engagement and marketing. By leveraging AI, RimFit reduces the uncertainty and guesswork often associated with buying aftermarket wheels, leading to higher customer satisfaction, fewer returns, and increased sales for shops. The solution is tailored for the automotive aftermarket industry, with a focus on usability for non-technical staff in retail environments.

Problem solved
Tire and rim shops frequently struggle to help customers envision how new wheels will look on their vehicles before purchase. Traditional methods rely on physical samples or static images from catalogs, which fail to account for the specific car model, color, and viewing angle. This uncertainty can lead to hesitation, lost sales, and costly returns when customers are dissatisfied with the final result. RimFit solves this problem by using AI to generate realistic, on-the-fly visualizations of any selected rim on the customer's exact car, empowering both the shop and the customer to make confident decisions.
