Thinking about new wheels if I get a stimulus check. I need to make sure these are made in the USA or friendly country first.

With magma red its hard choosing a wheel. Black would look weird. Chrome 22s would be a little too bling.


Anyone run this combo?

Ive always tried not to buy anything from china if I had a choice.
Maybe now more headway will be made to bring manufacturing back.
I mean... if I need a wooden spoon or a bamboo rake or something Ill still buy American if theres an option.
But I buy clevis which are used to lift hundreds or a couple thousand pounds in the vicinity of guys on the ground. Not buying chinese.
If something came stock from chna on my truck and I need or want to replace it I will replace with American if available. Ill never replace American parts with chinese.
They are revealing themselvs as the malevolent adversary more and more now that they have a lot of capitalist funding for their communist aspirations.
Not getting any of my money if I can help it.

I have seen Cerakote done on bumpers and was wondering how it might look on rims. Might be something worth considering in my mind (I was thinking about this for a lifted 93 F150)

Japan is actually paying companies 2B from their stimulus response to companies to move their production out of china. I think china is in for a world of hurt after the dust settles honestly.

I’ve got a ‘19 Sport in Magma and think the combo of the color with the black is the best looking truck combo made. Yes, I’m biased I know, ha ha. Since you’ve got some chrome and would like to avoid the Chinese stuff, what about having your stock rims accented with some black on them, but leave some factory finish to tie it all together?

The day I brought her home. Front windows now tinted, steps raised, and black FX4 decals waiting at home to be installed.
