We spend the money to buy American made Axles and Components for
all the trailers we build.... even though all most customers do not care about
anything except the lowest bottom line price!

Very sad.

On the flip side. How many (myself included) have used American made bogarts or Monocoque wheels that split the rim???

I've cracked the barrels on fronts too. 1 piece forged fronts for me now.

Check out Lindsay Racing Products his wheels are made here in USA.He can do any color backspacing your logo or race team name on them. Chad Langdon has front and rear wheels on his stocker.

Very sad to hear about the Chinese wheels flooding the market.

We also use Lindsay racing wheels, front runners and double beadlocks made right in Arizona. Chris is very good at what he does and does everything in house. Check him out.

I don't mind being politically incorrect. Thanks for the update. I won't be running any Chinese crap on my car. Made in USA for me, or not interested.

Regardless how great the guy is selling overseas made parts, he's just selling, not making. He really has no control. The people in the factories (really the government since everything is tightly controlled) are notorious for cutting corners when the person having them made there is not paying attention. It's like Russian roulette.
