There was a sticker on each of my OEM TRD Pro wheels that says Best Quality Wheel Factory Thailand.

I love that. There's a used car dealer near my home called "Good Cars Only."
What's in a name?
For those that want true Japanese quality, I think Enkei is the way to go. Not all of their wheels are made in Japan though.

SCS wheels use the same company as Toyota to build their wheels, they are also made in Thailand. I think they used to be made in China but moved. That's probably a good thing.

I wish I took a picture of the sticker before mounting the tires on the wheels. It was on the inside of the wheel so it can't be seen once the tire is mounted.

Is it only us Americans that can't wrap their heads around a global economy and how we are never going back to making stuff in one predetermined country?
I see these posts on lots of random forums and it seems that us Americans have the darndest time understanding how commerce works in 2019/2020 and that any attempt to stop it would just lead to our country's economy going to shambles?
I see it but I notice a ton of my fellow peoples do not.

not saying Kyle is wrong (i do agree that the Chinese society is total screwed up these days), but he is (or was) shorting the Chinese currency.

Well you have to have something to trade and America basically just trades debt (backed by our military) for the last 30 years so that boomers could jack up the stock market. They have stolen their grandkids future because all this imaginary boomer money is supposed to get paid back one day by you know, actually making stuff. Debt is literally stealing demand from the future to use now. Healthcare, higher education, houses, etc all jacked up from this stolen demand.
Is having debt and warfare as your main exports in anyway sustainable? And now half of kids are too damn fat to join the military.
Not to mention the damage to the enviroment boomer's crass consumerism has done.

He's been short on China a long time but it keeps going somehow. Those ghost cities have been known about for years. It's fascinating when you look in to this stuff. Investors have to have people doing all kinds of private detective work... literally watching stuff with binoculars, looking up electricity usage, looking at satellite data, all kinds of weird research to get an accurate picture. Their economy is pure lies and corruption.
Meanwhile all the bureaucrats and factory owners are pouring money OUT of China in to property in London, Vancouver, Australia. And stuff like bitcoin. Ready for when it implodes.

I am a retired baby boomer. I am sorry I caused you so many problems. Now get back to work so you can keep my stock prices high.

I can't really say anything to be honest because I fit the "30 year old boomer" meme exactly. Managed to sneak in because my boomer mom told me to buy an apartment when I was 18, which tripled in value and got me started on the boomer life haha. Never went to college so didnt have to deal with student debt. Self-employed since I was 16. I dont trust stocks though and dont forsee ever receiving social security.

Man, I thought this thread was going to be about some hot-new cheap and light wheels made in China for our 4runners.
