Here is an idea on the camo issue. Why don't u just keep your lower panels muddy and stick foliage to it?

Just butting in with some rim options.

Pro Comp has a nice line of wheels in different finishes, sizes and backspacing.

Hey FoMo....

Yea', Pro Comp does have some good looking wheels ! I like those in your avatar, in both chrome, and in the all black. I also like the 7005's.

Moto Metal makes some nice wheels too. I like the 951's, but going through the "show off your wheels" thread, I saw a set of MM 951's on nearly every page of 43 pages ! Just too common for me.

I've just about exhausted all of my possible wheels choices though, and keep coming back to those DEJ Cannons.

I think among all the 9000+ wheels I've seen in the last 10 weeks (since I started looking at new trucks, and the wheels for them) the only wheels I've seen that I liked "better" than the DEJ Cannons, are the Ultra Titans.... and unfortunately, they are not available in an 18" X 9" :-(

How freaking sweet are these, huh ?

Peace,

Yep, most all of the American Racing truck wheels are made in China. But keep it in perspective. Many chinese wheel makers still make making good wheels. Not all of it is junk. The quality of the ATX wheels is very good, otherwise AR would not put their name on them and we would not sell them

FWIW, the SALEEN rims being sold every where, are made in China too. I was not happy when I saw that label on the box, but guess what: my O/E Ford "chrome clad" wheels are made in Mexico...cheapest labor wins guys.

Off the top of my head, I can think of no CAST wheel maker, car, truck, or otherwise that is us made in the US. Almost everything made here is top shelf and milled from forgings.

Something that dispoints me even more about this is I work for a company that makes wheels for Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Subaru, but no domestic companies. Most of their wheels come from Mexico I believe.
