Well, there's that but.....LOL.
Or they can just keep breaking wheels. Some folks you just can't help.
I suspect there will be a snarky response to this since it is the standard mode of operation.

I read that but I've also read similar from other companies whose products aren't made in the USA, rather they finished, or assembled or boxed here.

Most companies today whose products are infact made here are proud to put that on their website in bold type and with an American flag.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm not interested in their wheels.

Pro Stars are ugly......but never seen one crack LOL

FTD Customs are forged in USA. Machined in Tennessee. Lifetime warranty.

Just Say'n

Thanks Scott. Not familar with them but a lifetime warranty has my attention.

FTD seems to make nice stuff as well.. Is RBZ Billet made in USA?

Tell me again; Why did we get rid of those Cemterlines?? lol...

rolled on them throughout the 90s.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the "F" in FTD stands for Fuqua, but I might be wrong. I know Blake puts up many pics of wheels on FB so I would bet they are made in Tennessee.

Correct, Hendersonville, TN.

Doesn't look like he makes rears though.

First thing i thought of was the "Spinwerks" deal. What is it going to take, someone to die due to a wheel failure. Put some meat in them wheels. Looks might get you injured or killed.

My Weld Magnum Pro's are SFI cert'd with stickers on them.

FUQUA…..FTW….

I prefer to use a front wheel not known for cracking but that's just me. My China made front Racestars from Jegs were affordable, are still round and not cracked. I will leave it at that, everyone makes their own choices. 1600+ lbs on them. Main thing to learn here: check your lightweight wheels for cracks, often.

thanks Ed for posting this I have mine off now will ne looking at them very closely while I polish them up

Americans on mine but I guess they don’t make them anymore. My partner in crime wrecked his dragster because of a Weld. They are gorgeous but I’m not running them.

As someone who lives pretty close to the BG area and is friends with a gentleman that works at RC Components, I can tell you their drag race wheels are made in house.

That being said, FTD Customs and RBZ Billet also make some really nice pieces. They're both in the Nashville area.

That would be correct. Mike and Blake Fuqua.
