I miscommunicated. I have just read a few too many stories of alloy wheels whose production was outsourced to China--with horrible results.

I dare not take a chance at 65-70mph with the joys of wheel separation.

Besides, I'd rather not deal with spacers, offset, and all that other nonsense. Call it what you will.

Heavy as they are, I can't wait to get my OEM alloys.

Nope. Made in China, at least according to TireRack.com.
