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...
