Fitment Industries are fuel wheels produced here in America? If yes my wheels have a lot of orange peel here and there and the lip has a bump and the shop I went to told me that fuel wheels don’t cover that as warranty.

I used to work for a wheel distributor and my experience with aftermarket wheels is that they usually are Chinese made, they are heavy and they are of low quality. In my experience, they were usually universal fit and were blank at the lug area and we would put them on the CNC machine to drill the proper lug pattern for the vehicle they were going on. The offset was usually just in the general vicinity of what was required (sometimes we would use spacers). Centering them required the use of hub rings which was a different size ring for every different make. The worst part was when a client would curb or crash his/her vehicle and we couldn't sell them just one or two replacement rim(s). Common problems were the yellowing and peeling of the chrome. Since that experience, I've never replaced the wheels on any car I've owned unless it was with a different style rim from the same make of the vehicle.

If you don’t understand why it’s more money in oem wheels here’s a better explaination. I used to work in a wheel refurbishing plant in Tampa. I did quality assurance, wheel/wheel cover/steel wheel selection, work orders, customer wheels, shipping and stock wheel transfers. I used to have to balance 48 to 56 wheels depending on size on 3 to 4 pallets sometimes more. Most where transfers and usually 2 were customer ships. The transfers were all stock wheels. It more Money in stock wheels because people replace oem wheels more due to wrecks and ware and tear. Most of the wrecked wheels came from up north where it snows of course. I’d ship dozens of pallets of stock wheels to Miami every week.

Thanks for the interesting and informative video, Alex. The OEM wheels on my 370Z sport pkg are Rays 19" forged aluminum monoblocks that are made in Japan, weighing 23 & 24 lbs. The replacement wheels I'm getting are from Litespeed Racing in LA. They are 19" forged magnesium monoblocks that weigh about 14 to 15 lbs in my sizes, 19 x 9 & 19 x 10. One of the reasons that I chose this company is that their wheels are entirely designed and manufactured here in California from the metal alloys they formulate to the hydraulic presses and CNC milling machines and lathes. Years ago when I was buying gear for my electric bass, I purposely sought out stuff that was designed and made in the US. I did have to pay more but it was worth it to me, as I never had any quality issues with the equipment and the instrument was not difficult to set up and maintain its setup. The point of all this is that I believe there are good choices for people in finding US made products, if people are willing to pay a little extra for good design and good quality of construction. My ex used to waste tons of money on cheaply made shoes made abroad that never felt good and that fell apart quickly. She wound up spending more in the long run than she would have if she had just bought some well-made shoes from the start. The Michelin tires that I put on my car are more expensive than those brands made in Asia but the cost per actual mile driven over the lifespan of the tire is no more than the cost of any other decent quality tires.

You're right. Forged parts has more material per size, which means it's harder because of the metal density. With that extra material that indeed adds mass though. What I love about mulitpiece wheels is the fact you can sorta 'mix-n-match' combinations, and if you get struck in an accident and your rim got broken, you can go replace the damaged part. The truth about the industry nowadays is that you can never make it alone, unlike back in the days that subtle differences makes a huge difference, but with the mass production sameness of today you can not really complain anymore. You're better off with a custom set of wheels of you really want 'strict' customization.

There is a difference between what you considered aftermarket and oem. This is due to wheel sizes, the ones contracted or OEM may not be the one most optimal for what you are going for. Aftermarket wheels are usually bought with specific specifications with the upmost consideration for a need such as stance/bags, speed, or friction

To learn that OEM wheels steelies or alloys. Still gather by far and wide the best advantages for the particular vehicle! And tend to be the best combination of money/performance! If we're talking about major mods, you need to dig deep! Not just on your knowledge. But way deeper on your pockets. Because, trust me on this, you'll be paying for those "stupid" choice wheels. Way after you spend your money buying them! ;-)

A lot of people buy based solely by looks. I spent a lot of time looking for the lightest forged wheel I could get. I went from a 17 in rim to an 18 in rim and my new rims are 5 lbs lighter than the factory wheels that came on the car, that's a reduction of 20 lbs unsprung weight. Any racer knows if you reduce your unsprung weight, you can reap great suspension benefits. I'm happy, just have to be very careful to avoid curb rash.

Bigger is slower due to the increased lever arm of the mass being further away from the center slowing down braking and accel...

I've had to work on cars for a while and am working on getting out the industry. One of the reasons is because of the idiots who don't do their homework, buy cheap ass aftermarket shit with multiple stud patterns, and don't buy hub centering rings.. then when told it would help not only improve their ride quality, save them parts damage, as well as make your job easier.. refuse to. Then they're back a week later complaining about a vibration.. again. Second, this is for the manufacturers, not so much an issue with the wheel itself. But the bullshit factory lugnuts now that come with those sorry ass chrome caps that expand. Not that big of a deal when they can be handled by a (insert MM socket size) & a half. But god forbid you get them warped on a Renegade for example. Or they're just so rounded and fucked from repetitive abuse that you have to look for alternative options.. whoever's idea that was should be flayed alive as slowly as possible in public. And don't get me started on some of these bullshit cheap ass wheel lock lugnuts either. Where the owner either loses the key socket or has such poor quality on the design (along with idiots who overtighten them) the key breaks, which then requires extraction, much like the chrome capped lugnuts eventually do if not replaced soon enough..

The wheels are mostly bigger because they have larger brakes. My 1987 mustang had like 10inch front disks because stopping wasn't important and my car weighed 3100lbs . My 2015 has 15inch brakes and weighs 3750lbs so a 15 inch wheel wont cut it . Phones last just as long . If I turn off all the features on my Samsung and just use it like a phone I will probably only need to charge it once a week.

Another moron whining about the fictional "good ol days" where we drove cars dreams were made of (they were really 100hp shit boxes with crank windows). Everything now is better in terms of technology, options & efficiency. If you want a bigger sidewall/comfort, just buy that option!! Any normal car out there has 16-17" rims as the base option. Coupled with taller tire height you're gonna get just as much sidewall/comfort as in the "good ol days". More importantly people who want brembos/bigger rims (for looks) and stiffer sidewalls for cornering have the option to buy exactly that. Some people prefer that handling/looks over the comfort and their desire is just as valid as yours. Your phone's battery has TEN times more milli amp hours per cm^3 than any "good ol days" phone you ever had. Except YOU use your current phone now for 100x different things and more features so you deplete that battery in a day. Even then, if you're so devoted to "function over form", why dont you just buy a $30 battery phone case to double the thickness and double the battery life??? Try to think for once, before you whine on and on about life. You are a lot more fortunate than you think.

Lots of mis info in this. Most wheels are not made in China. There are only 3-4 companies that make all the wheels for the entire world. Each has several factories/foundries worldwide. The least amount in China. Maxion is headquartered here in Michigan where I live. They are the largest wheel manufacturer in the world. Out of their dozens of factories, only 2 are in China. Also wheels are just branded w different names. Has nothing to do with small brands needing to partner up with others to order. In fact they don’t do that at all. The brand only does the design/style of the wheel. They pay the factory company to produce them. The actual companies that make them don’t make their own brand. They make them for others. I’m not sure where u got your info. You can order one single prototype wheel to millions marketed for sale.

A video I would like to see is " what wheels / tires fit 02 -07 wrx" I know you guys do tons of Subaru vids and if y'all have already covered it in a video i probably missed it... but Ive owned a bugeye for about 5 months now and am almost ready to start looking into wheels and tires... I've read tons of comments and threads and know exactly the look I want to go for, maybe even the wheel in particular, but I can't put it on paper in terms of numbers when it comes to "offset" "width" "side wall length" "poke" and so on.

Im against this type of stuff. I understand getting rough ideas and stuff but its like the car community lost the sense to put in the work themselves and also every car is different . one person could be lower and have more camber or one could have an aggressive pull on fenders. Test fit some wheels and take measurements and you will have the fitment you want.

Been playing your videos all day and noticed in one of them that you guys were really hating on E85. I feel like you guys have been exposed to a lot of the negative misconceptions associated with E85 and may not fully understand it's best intended uses... it's an inexpensive race fuel. It's more resistant to knock than 110 octane, burns significantly cooler than gasoline, makes more torque than gasoline, is an amazing detergent and keeps your engine internals clean AF! It's not meant for fuel economy. It has its place and is HUGE in the racing community from turbo Civics to procharged Corvettes. Everybody that loves boost either runs E85 or wishes they could be running E85. Its effing magical!!!

Wheels huh. Unless you are racing, good tires more than anything will make your car perform better. I have spent many years gravity and low pressure casting wheels for motorcycles, cars and trailers and can tell you this. If they meet manufacturing standards they are all made of using the same strontium modified 601-603 grade aluminum alloy metal. Unless you are a race engineer with an expertise in vehicle dynamics, weight does not matter. Ie: heavy wheels on a light chassis will perform better than light wheels on a heavy chassis. Cheap aftermarket wheels just like cheap tires can have balacing trouble aswell. The quality in an alloy wheel is mainly in how well balanced it is along with the load rating regardless of the manufacturing technique wether it be cast or forged, single or multi piece If you want to put aftermarket wheels on your daily try and stick to the manufacturers specs or you will reduce the life of your suspension and power steering components. If you choose your wheels purely on how they look like the stance boys, or the guys who just seem to shove the biggest wheels possible under the guards just so they can say they've got 22's Dont expect better handling or peformance. But hey at the end of the day spend your money on what you want. Better off building a sweet ride than picking up a crack habit.

The amount of people in the comments tugging the OEMs chain as far as wheels is sickening . Decent flow formed aftermarket wheels that dont cost alot can be much stronger and lighter than most cast wheels and they usually look better too in many cases. There is simply bad info being thrown around in this video and in the comments. Yall can stick to your boat anchor stock wheels while I'll continue to upgrade my cars to wheels that look better and are lighter and stronger while not spending a ton of cash.
