Since my latest dilemma with my wheels, it has made me start thinking about those companies that actually do their own cutting of the faces, assembly, and powdercoating at their own facility where they own he equipment. He only two I can think of off the top of my head are HRE and CCW. Are there any others who don't outsource? Don't anyone dare say DPE cause they don't.

 

Stupid *** autocorrect on iPhone messed up a couple of words.

 

only company that comes into my mind was hre, but you already knows this.
what about jdm wheels? 'rays and works' have their own equipment and have their own unique design.

 

I thought I would throw out the idea of US companies who don't outsource so people don't get the same headaches when looking for custom wheels.

 

did yo just sign up on m3post.com? i think i saw your name on a thread there...?

 

FYI HRE outsources their barrels from the same people DPE does. And this is just an opinion but my take is, leave the wheel experts to making wheels, and the powder coaters to powdercoating. While I know you had a bad experience, would it really make sense to take your car to a mechanic to have your car painted, just because the mechanic fixed the alternator? Just my opinion, everyone has their area of expertise, I would think specialized individuals make better product than "jacks-of-all-trade" type people.

 

Lol, no I signed up awhile ago when I was thinking of getting one when I bought the G37x. I just never posted over there. Keep finding 2008's for sale near me, not too many 09's with low miles

 

ISS cuts their own wheel centers and does the finishing and assembly in house. They even repainted my new wheel centers multiple times to get the finish perfect
