My Foose Nitrous II's, I was told right from Foose
Wheels, they are made in the USA, but on the back
side it says MADE IN CHINA
The final product quite likely was CNC'd in USA but the casting or forging was probably done in China. Also, many wheels are produced in two pieces to yeild the desired offset so its possible the rim was done in China but the insert done in the USA.
Have you noticed all the "plain brown boxes" that new wheels are in at swapmeets, shows, etc.. All Chinese product. When they're repackaged into the Cragar box the price doubles !!
Cragar SS's are Made in the USA by Carlise wheel...right here in SoCal.
Foose wheels are just made for him by MHT from memory  (or what ever company makes them...) and done in china as metioned.
Most of the 1 piece wheels out there are china... I do know Oasis makes wheels under thier name and for a few other companies (1 piece)right here in Orange County.. 
Most of the 2 piece billet wheels are done locally I know of. The outers all come from mainly the same company or two..centers done by the wheel manufactures..(some outers done in china now too though) All the outers and centers I deal in are USA made
