^^^ it's my understanding that those 3 or 2 piece wheels are assembled in USA but the metal bits were cast/spuned/forge in Japan and shipped in bits to save shipping.

So i guess you could all those "assembled in USA"?

The wheels that confused me were 1 piece cast wheels, there's nothing to assemble so the whole thing mustve been made at the declared place of manufacture...

Doesn't matter now that the company had been through bankruptcy and sold in bits to others.

Well probably see Chinese or even Rota made bbs's in a few years time....
