I looking for new wheels and would like to buy american.
I found a lot of chinese made. Are there any american manufactures left?

Good luck Maybe if you can find a set made in the 70's 8 on 6.5 should be some still left. Older weld, centerline, alcoa. New wheels maybe greg weld i think maybe americian made. I am also looking but not to hard i need to sell the ones i have.

i have a set of forged weld wheels im thinking of getting rid of to gor for the black and chrome look instead

does it really matter were they are made, all american companies just get them made in china for them, and their is nothing wrong with them either.

Center Line

Yea It does matter to me for two reasons 1 we are giving china the money to buy us with and 2 I don't want to spend $ 150-200 for rim and have them look like the factory ones that i have.

That is a false statement. Not all AMERICIAN companies get there wheels made in china. I try to buy americian when i can even though i don't agree with obama's rediculous bail out shitt

Superior wheel,,made right here in NW Arkansas,,I think they make the stock aluminum wheels on our trucks?

Centerline wheels and they're rotary forged on the Wilderness Series.

ok....most of them are made in china, wether you buy american made or from china it aint goin to make or break the country, money is money and when you can save a buck why not.....I got ULTRA rims, they say on the box MADE IN USA, but stamped on the rim is china, its a U.S company but they still get them made in china....why?, because they can get someone else to make them cheaper than they can themselves. But i do understand that their are a few actually made in your country, just be prepared to spend more money. Also mine were $370 a set and they dont look like cheap factory rims.

centerline all the way :)

Good luck Maybe if you can find a set made in the 70's

lol,,, sad but true.

seriously?......american eagle wheel???

Theyre made in the US

I also do my best to support this country. I will spend the extra bucks to buy american made items.

1stchevy - Glad to see your supporting this country! God bless you!

2004dmax - If you don't like supporting this country or spending your money/investing in things here or made here, get out. Thats half of the problem with the U.S. today, people like you not understanding that simple fact.

Guys... Here's the thing to remember. This whole manufacturing dilemma is a big pendulum. As China and other developing countries continue to prosper their cost of living and standard of living is going to increase. Once it gets to a certain point it will become cheaper to make things here. Manufacturing will come back to the USA, rest assured. It may, however, take another 5-10 yrs.

I guess you have NO clue how the world economy works - do you? ;)

If your so educated on world economy maybe you should be the head of the treasury.

No thanks! I don't like pencil pushing meaningless jobs at all....:D

maybe if people werent lazy and actually tried to only buy american.....things could change you dont always need government to do everything for you

Out of a job yet, Keep buying foreign

You have no clue how a world market works. Tariffs that are skewed to one side! Manipulation of a currency! Labor laws that promote a child work force! With a work force that is given no alternative to a safe work place! All the things we learned about workplaces at the turn at the century to the 30's, the Chinese are doing now to increase the profitability of product that are copies of other countries ideas. The number one foreign automaker in Japan is Mercedes at 8%. The tariffs on products brought there are so high; there is no market for outside products. Read a book once in a while. Learn how things really work!

yea so who is gunna demand their gov steps up to the standards we have
