NineBall and I both sell a lot of wheels made in the US. I know Nine Ball only sells USA made wheels.
I sell one brand not made in the USA. COR, Vossen, Axiom, ISS are all my brands made in the USA... Let me know |

Hard to gauge where materials come from, as most companies use different suppliers all the time. Some of the forged wheels from overseas aren't bad at all, but the waiting time and communication can be an issue. Also, if you have to get an overseas wheel repaired, good luck with that.
Every forged brand in my signature is machined and assembled in the USA. Material source we'd have to ask each company individually. Tony

FYI, if you're going to ask if the aluminum they use is domestic, ask if they use Kaiser, Alcoa, or Sapa. Those are the 3 major USA manufacturers of aluminum.

The revolution super 5's...Made in USA !!! forgings , barrels and machining all the way down to the bolts holding her together.
And these also feature a industry first , they use the oem camaro lug nuts !! So that saves another $40 for lugs you dont have to buy. I know must of us dont leave your cars for more than a minute but if you do , just throw a locking lug on them to make sure they stay on your car.

Great tread! I always wondered the same thing after finding out that foose rims were made in china. What a shame. I love the looks of those revolutions.
