Last I heard the factory in Taiwan was raided for using sweat shop labor. Which is why the wheels are all backordered. Plus a pending lawsuit from Spoon from Japan for trademark violations

I should ask my uncle to start a wheel business and import rotas here in the US. I should do the same and sell American Racing there. I heard those are the shit there.

Maybe I could ship using balikbayan boxes. :chuckles:
