Hmmm thats weird. Both my front and rear greg welds say made in the USA. The race star industries say made in china. Dont know what up with that. I just know where mine were made.

I just picked up my 15x10 rears from Jims Racing Tires and they look great. Gonna try to have them mounted on Sunday. They have a lifetime warranty for failures and Jim says they'll stand behind them if they have any issues...As far as being made in China, while I'd rather have all USA made stuff, my USA made Bogart broke in half and cost twice as much...

Just ordered my set. Says hes got about 5 sets of 15x10s and 20 15x8s left.
Now I just need some new rear calipers!!!

Like mentioned b4 free shipping, stainless valves, and lug nuts with washers. Really nice guy over there!

lol at all the people that hate on foreign products. I had a long post going but didn't want to get this thread closed so **** it.

If my car was putting down enough power to warrant drag wheels, I'd definitely be buying a set of these.
