The wheels are not made in mexico, but the chrome work is done there. They truck them from the plant in Ontario here down and back up again. The company has had numerous issues with the different platers they use and it still seems to be on going. Turn around order time on plated products from them is like 6+ weeks at the moment...

I deal with Carlstar (former Carlise) who make them on a regular basis...just was on the phone to them yesterday about my latest order of chrome steel outers actually...

And yes, even with bare components I get more then I should of quality control issues..very frustrating.
