Well that is my opinion just like your comments above are your opinion. At the end of the day people need to be responsible for there own actions too.

Man, this has turned into a full on pissing match. The same thing happened in the RC world several years ago. All of the big time sponsored pilots where flying DA engines and talking smack about all of the China built engines. Until one china built engine brand came out that had more torque and revved higher and was lighter than the DA American built brand. After a few months the China brand DLE line of engines started getting a lot of U.S. based customer support and before you knew it a lot of the big time factory sponsored pilots started flying with DLE engines. For the simple reasons that they outperformed the American produced DA brand plus they were several hundred dollars cheaper and all of the customer support that you could ask for was there. Just saying.........

I will also be attending SEMA soon and last year some of the largest groups of people in the "business dealing" area were from either China or India, not to be confused with the "demo" areas.
In the past, complaints about overseas products typically also dealt with quality control. However, the same thing happens inside the United States. Franchisees are a good example since though the Franchisor may adequately train the Franchisee, it's doesn't mean that the Franchisee necessarily complies with the standards set by the Franchisor. Small mom and pop shops also experience growing pains and may just grow too fast for them to keep up with.
All I know is that I've been thinking about purchasing wheels as well; however, at times I wonder if it is just better to stick with what I have. Sometimes, that is also why I like to purchase locally through the dealer. It may cost more, but if I have a problem, they are located "here" and hopefully, they can rectify the problem.
