Re: those of us that are riding 20s
I thought they made them here, I guess I won't be buying any. Damn, who makes nice 20" 5 spokes here in the U.S.A.? I don't mind paying a little more to support our own economy.

Re: those of us that are riding 20s
I think the Coys are the best deal on the market. They look awsome and are reasonably priced. You can get a whole set for the price of 1 Forgeline or Boze. I want the best bargin for my money personally. It may be good for the economy to buy American made But Coys is a American Company that uses overseas manufacturers to keep the costs down. And if thats a problem than you'll want to change 75% of your truck since GM farms out alot of work to foreign companys. I would rather have the extra money in my wallet.

Those that won't use any foreign products will need to stay away from all the re-pop sheet-metal, most (if not all) the trim, rubber, etc......

Re: those of us that are riding 20s
I know Centerlines are American made. They are one of the cheapest forged wheels out there. My 20's only weigh 22 in front and 24 in the rear.

Re: those of us that are riding 20s
The only problem is they leave much to be desired on their choices compared to others (& as far as I've seen, they don't offer a traditional 5-spoke or 'slots' style wheel @ decent prices).

Re: those of us that are riding 20s
Just cuz there made in America doesn't mean that the materials they are made out of or with (things that are concitered consumable waste, foundry equiptment, release agents, Aluminum,ect.) are made here. Everything has a foreign touch somewhere. And if your set on buying only American made products those rims you get are going to ride very rough with no tires on them. I seem to recall that most of the rubber in the USA comes from South America. and a large portion of the tires are made in Asia.
