American made wheels(rims)?
 

Hey guys I have been doing some research on the future wheels that I want to buy and of course all the really good looking ones (and expensive) are made in Japan. After doing some searching on the site, I didn't see anyone ask this questions before, sooooo, I apologize in advance as I am a big N00b... And it's a pretty generalized question.. :)

What are some good comparable wheels that are made in America? (Brands/Companies) Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Strasse Forged American made? (love their wheels btw) who else? Suggestions and opinions THANKS!!! :D

P.s. Wheels that look good on the 370z of course.

P.s.s. I guess I am just trying to avoid the overhead of the Japan made wheels with the shipping time, costs, ect, ect, ect...

Look into AM Forged Wheels...Perfect fitment for the Z. I should be getting my set of Primes this week...Great Look!

Damn those are freaking HAWT!! +1 ! :D

most common....volks and works...when you start going 3 piece piece goes up.

Really? I was under the assumption volks and works were made in Japan :confused:

they are made in japan. Most 3 piece wheels are made in the U.S.

BB read the topic lol...he wants american wheels :rofl2:

AM Forged are manufactured in the US..They are custom 3 piece wheels!

That kinda looks like my werfen 3pcs. :D

HAHA thanks Phelan.. I was getting confused... :tup:

Im ok buying domestic wheels considering I don't like supporting japan's stupid exchange rate.

I will support japan using my yen but not waste dollars on stupid politics.

np ed colbizle :tup:

forgestars have been reasonably popular on these forums, and are american made....i think?

I thought forgestars were italian... (?)

HRE & DPE are both US made wheel brands but are not cheap.

You get what you pay for OP, although if you're looking for a cheaper alternative Enkei and Forgestars are both options that look good on a 370Z

i thought that was forged specialties :confused:

:confused:

my biggest issue is the 60+day wait for JDM

I had to wait that long for my forgestars and i think their company is in Cal

Strasse are made in Miami. I got a very fast turn around on mine. You can see them in my gallery.

Metz... You wheels... AWESOME. Great choice on the 40th! :tup:

What was the wait time on this from time of order?

according to Elvis, Vossen wheels are made in his kitchen in florida... (?) :confused:

California actually.

Im pretty sure my shipping papers came from Miami but who knows.
Looking back I ordered on 11/18/10 and recieved them by 1/25/11. Wasnt bad considering there were 3 major holidays in there.

Lol if I were to explain the hybrid of wheels you have it would make more sense, but id rather not. You got a good set of wheels, thats all that should matter I would think.

I'll be honest I could care less where parts are sourced. After dealing with different vendors on here and having ordered items that took as long as 7 months to come in, I'm am very happy with my purchase and experience.

Like I said as long as you are happy that is all that matters, I wasnt trying to imply just dont want rumors starting and false information. Lol I just say it how it is, you have a gorgeous car so just want to make sure the truth is told, no harm no foul.

I think I found my wheels haha :excited::

Wow I did not have that first picture with the door open, I am in love!

A few number of vendors post that they have SSR wheels in stock so no wait.

Do these clear sport brakes?

AM Forged "Primes" Installed

If you are serious track/ road racer, CCW Complete Custom Wheel - Home

As Metz mentioned STRASSE FORGED is a great option and by far the best quality of any of the wheels sold on this forum. PERIOD. If you want the best, get strasse forged! All of the Strasse forged wheels are made here in the good ol USA! I am also working on a few deals to get us a new brand specifically for UAM... these will be a mid price range 3 piece wheels made specifically for us. (price range of volks and Work wheels)

so there's no chance that I'll convince you to buy some Japanese wheels? I have a lot of options if you are interested :tiphat:

ADVs are soo damn expensive though.. :ugh2:
