So basically, if you aren't paying $700+ per wheel American made, you aren't getting half the quality of chrome from over seas. A $200 wheel from China will typically have better quality than a $500 wheel made here. Unfortunate, but true...But then again, to get the right look for our trucks, you pretty much have to get custom-fit wheels anyways...

I dont agree at all. I have the AR Titans on my daily driver which were made in China the chrome is so thin it was chipping off in the first 6 months poor finish on the chrome also. Most of the american made products from a reputable company have far better quality than products from overseas.
