Default Where are "OE Wheels" made?

I see a lot of guys have wheels from them as seen in big picture thread.

Here is a good read about replica wheels.

I looked over their site and can't find any info on where their made. Could it be China?

OE Wheels or anyone else know?

OEM wheels are expensive as ****...that's why so many replica brands are out there. IDK where OE has their wheels made, but I know that they are really good quality, as I have them. They're made just as well as my OEM ZR1's were just by looks and feel if you ask me.

Yeah they're made in China. I have their 18" DD C5's and they're definitely quality wheels for the money.

Like goatman says, a lot of **** is made in China nowadays. Even American Racing wheels.

You joined just to start **** with OE wheels? I don't own them (yet), but I haven't heard anything at all bad about them.

I'm not starting ****. Just trying to get the answer that their website doesn't provide. This is a good place to do that seeing alot of people have their wheels.

I will probably buy a set if I can decide which ones. That's the hard part.

I got my oe wheels about a year and a half ago and they are excellent Quality much better than most cars with chrome wheels now a day with plastic chrome covers over the rim like my dads 09 ram lol. I will most likely be doing business. With them again since I meant to order 17/18s but I got 17s all the way around

I recently purchased the machined face DD C5 wheels and I am a machinist, they wheels are quality all around. Nice lathe work on the face, like it was previously stated they also make a lot of wheels for the big manufacturers with the plant in china

Thank you Scott. No disrespect meant, just wanted to know.

BTW, I did order a wheel and tire package from OE Wheels a few days ago. Got an email saying they shipped yesterday! A lot sooner than I thought. Forced me to order new brakes and rotors last night. Can't have my rusty crap behind my shiny new wheels.

Thanks.
