Made in America Rims

[bluebeast1562]

Looking to get a set of aftermarket rims for my 2020 Bighorn, looking a 20x9 black. With the current state of our country anyone know of made in America rims? So far all that I see are made in China and as I said, with the current state, want to buy American. Thanks.

What brands have you looked at?

American Force wheels makes their wheels here but as I'm sure you're aware ANY wheel made here is going to cost a lot more.

Been looking on Tirerack.com, I have a set of Granite Alloy 640's that I had on my 4th Gen was looking at the GA641 for the 5th Gen but they are made...you know where.
Have seen a bunch of rims but nothing has caught my eye like the GA

Update on this thread, looking at 4wheelparts.com, local pickup in Nashville. Saw a set of **** Cepek's on their site, not sure where they are manufactured. Not too bad of price but one question that came to mind regards the TPMS senors. The have a set of senors available for 199.00 however, I have a set of 5x5.5 rims that came off my 13 Ram with senors installed. Would this be an easy swap to new rims? BTW, the new senors have chrome valve stems while I have black metal valve stems on the older rims.

China.
They are made in China.
Your pressure sensors will swap right over.

The best site to look at wheels is extreme custom.com and custom offset.com. Your not likely to get a better price than from either of the two. I've purchased from both this last one was from extremecustoms. They give you a price then theres a wheel and deal option. Use it. Saved me another $250 off tires and wheels plus free TPMS mounted, balanced delivered to my door 3 days later. One center cap was a bit jacked causing the symbol to move a bit though I super glued it down. Shot them an email w a pic and they sent me a new one.

Thanks for the info on other sites. Explored customeoffsets.com and came across a set of rims for a pretty good price, pretty sure not made in the U.S.A but had some questions nonetheless.
Panther Offroad 579 is the rim, according to their site, they have the 20x9 that I am looking at but in a +12 offset also, the description says hubbore is 106.10. Not sure on the offset part, thought our rims were +19 and from what I can tell, the 2020 Ram's have a 77.8mm centerbore. Any insight to this stuff?
Thanks

While I understand your frustrations now with made in China, but most of the issues we see now is form the government, most people in China are amazing, I have been over 3-4 times.

With that, I like my Moto Metal, depending on what you like as far as looks.

I always try to purchase MADE IN THE USA type products ...usually pay more and almost always a better product [emoji106]

Went and pulled the trigger. Purchased a set of Panther Offroad 579 from Customoffsets. (Thanks Fireman48 for the location) Decent price. Did not purchase tires based on the fact that I have a new set on my old rims that will be mounted when the rims arrive. Going to attempt to sell my old aftermarket rims that would not fit the new rig. After a bit of thinking, they may be made in China but the company already purchased them. I have no real problem with China outside of the current situation.

Hub bore is irrelevant if they say they fit they fit. Offset is measured from the center hub in either direction. Dead centers is 0 offset. If the factory rim is +19 that means the center hub is 19mm closer to the outer rim. Negative offset is where you get the bigger lip. Mine is a -44 which is alot and will cause fitment issues without a big lift. I personally don't care for the look of positive offset rims. I like the large lip and the tire stance a bit more aggressive.
What look are you going for? Any lift?

Thats a goodooking rim. A little neg offset have looked looked better but it's all about what you like.

This... 1,000 times this. Most people in pick your favorite country aren’t terrible human beings.

The governments would buy or sell their grandmothers of they could make a buck in the deal.

As for American manufactured goods costing more, the cost of the end product is directly affected by the cost of labor and raw materials.

Wow, all I can say, ordered the rims on the 21st, today, the 24th they arrived minus the TPMS sensors (still in transit). Customoffset.com was quick. Regarding the bore diameter, the rims are 106.10mm while the truck is 77.8mm, had to order a set of hub rings to ensure they fit right.

Your OEM wheels are probably made in the US.

Perhaps but will not know until I take them off, LOL. On a side note, the new rims are made in Indonesia.

Where did you order your hub rings? From my experience in the past (Audi scene), hub rings are required if you want to run anything with a larger bore and have no wobble. My brother just got a set of Black Rhino wheels with a bore of 112.0. Are all 5th gens running a bore of 77.8?

Kingzilla, got the hub rings from Coyote Accessories. 106mmOD to 78.1mmID. Less than $10.00 for a set of four.
