People love to dump in China but I grew up with "jap crap' now made in Japan is synonymous with high quality. Spoke to a guy the other day who runs a machine shop that supplies aerospace and rocket components which is an extremely niche world. He gets his certified steel from China because the quality is excellent but he said in his field that the price difference between high end components manufactured there or locally is not huge. The message was you get what you pay for.

Right, but the problem with direct sourced Chinese goods is you have no reference for what you’re getting. You are buying to a price point for sure, but with some thing QC matters more. I’d bet an aerospace company has a lot of QCs in place for raw materials. I don’t have the means to QC Chinese carbon wheels outside of a visual inspection.

I’ve recently discovered AliExpress…after watching a bunch of videos on instagram about how even the most well known and respected car wheels that claim to be made in the US are essentially made in China. I had ordered a set of Evotech Radiator and Oil Cooler guards for about $250, found set on AliExpress for $50…ordered them just to compare to the EvoTech’s…literally exactly the same Down to the tiniest detail except the Evotech had an Evotech badge stenciled on.

I’m pretty sure both parts were made in the same stamping machine lol

HRE are made in China?
