Imported Aluminum Wheels good or bad ur experience with them.

how much did you pay for them and what size?

 

Taiwan > China

 

If you look carefully, lots of replacement parts are being sourced from Asia and Eastern Europe these days. Even stuff coming from your official KW,PETE, Freightliner, Harvester etc dealer.

The operative question is: Who are you going to sue if the part causes injury/property damage? If it says Alcoa on it, their deep pockets cause them to make sure the quality stays high. If you buy from a supplier who's supply chain is shaky and quality unknown, you are stuck with the conseqences.

They are called will fit, or knock off, or worse case counterfeit parts. Deal with reputable concerns with good US reputations. You will be fine.

 

20 years of stamping bicycle rims makes you feel safer about rolling down the road on imported class 8 truck rims? Not trying to be a wise ***, but really?

I have been searching almost everything I buy for a Made in America tag & it is almost impossible to find. We keep giving away our manufacturing & are going to be left with nothing.

 

Not nothing , the debt will remain!

 

Sad but true! Am not down grading any item simply because it was mfg'd in another country & understand we are in a global economy. But this country needs jobs & you cannot drive an economy w/o something tangible within. Sales commissions & customer service/tech work are not going to cut it.
