Not a lot of info there. Almost any aftermarket and OEM aluminum wheel now has "China" cast into it on the backside.

If this means more and better designed US made steel wheels, then good.

Agreed, but for those of us waiting on orders ...

I would bet the company sold wheels to the US military (or company contracted by for use on ordered vehicles) as “Made in USA” but where actually made in China. The US military can not buy or use products made in China. If they suspect “fraud” happened then the FBI does the investigation which could have lead to the search warrant “raid” of the company.

I belive this company casts the wheels in China and finishes them on the US.

If FBI & DHS are buying chinese drones I'm sure the military is too.

Lol, why not? They're already buying up our land and farms, may as well let them in everywhere else.

Easy way to prevent that...just don't allow landowners to sell their land without permission.

No? OK. Didn't think so.

Ya, let the enemy control your food production, they already control everything else we get. Seems like a legit idea, I'm sure it will work out fine in the long run.

Think you missed my point. WHO gets to tell the farmers who they can sell land to?

If it's someone from here I have no prob with it, but buying land in OUR country should be limited to people who LIVE in our country. You can't buy land over there for a reason. How does it make sense that they can buy here? I think some beds have been made here and we aren't the ones benefiting.

Since the company raided is publicly listed as a subsidiary of a China based company, and our alloy wheels are clearly marked
" made in China ", what is the real reason?
Military sales couldn't get past the paper trail, so ???

I have a Navy issue Cover that says you're wrong but go ahead.
