One of my former employers switched to a new bolt supplier off shore to save a few pennies a few years back. Do you know what happend? They had to recall thousands of products due to catostrophic failures.
Also, anyone pay attention as of late to the toys that have been imported into the USA? You want your kids eating lead?
So it does not matter where things are made, huh? I will keep a close eye on what I buy and a closer eye on where those parts are sourced!

121.00 for a front runner????
Yea over seas.
everyone is Saying Great at the moment, Till they have wheel weights all over the wheels cause there untrue and out of round, And there steering wheel is wobbling.
So anyways. That will Feel GREAT doing over 100 down the track, Then hitting the hooks.
People Just do not Care About Quality anymore.

The toy analogy was simply trying to give a real-world, current example of problem we see imported product these days. Poisonous animal food, antifreeze in toothpaste, lead in toys. Who is assuring you that the correct blend of Aluminum is used in your wheels? Or that there is not porositiy or inclusions in your cast wheels?
Clearly that can happen in any manufacturing facility, but it is a lot easier to keep a close eye on your quality when you plant is in Kansas City as opposed to China.

It has happend to people at the Track also, And driving through the pits, and driving down the return road.
Ive seen a Bogart come apart when Someone Came down after the 60 ft from a 3-3.5 ft wheelie. almost brought him to the wall and tore his **** up.
