Who are the best Wheel Manufacturers and why?

[tyoneal]

Hello:

I am looking for the best wheel manufacturer(s) I can find for a new product I want to bring to market in the near future. I have worked a number of years and have been Granted a Utility Patent on this wheel.

Specifically, I want to find out:

What wheel manufacturers do you think, as end users, are the best at what they do?

Since the end users are the people who have plucked their hard earned money down for the best set of wheels they can find for their personal dream cars, and who are in a position to determine what they have received for their money, and learned along the way, I consider these people to be experts in the field, and the ones who I really seek honest sincere answers from.

Manufacturers are also welcome, as in the end I hope to hire, or partner with one or more to help me bring a quality product to a segment of the wheel market I think has been over looked. My goal is to forge (No pun intended) a connection first, and a strong working relationship second, that has at its core a fair and equitable business arrangement for each of us, as well as the end user.

You can list different manufacturers, because in many cases some companies are better at specific applications than others.

Please consider the following categories in your answers:

What Manufacturer Builds the best Forged Wheels?

What Manufacturer Builds the best Cast Wheels?

What Manufacturer can produce the best Billet Wheels?

What wheel Manufacturer do you think offers the most options, or has the capability of building the most unique Wheels?

What Manufacturer Builds the best Carbon Graphite Wheels?

What Wheel Manufacturer gives the customer the best, "Bang for the Buck?

What Wheel Manufacturer has the highest quality control?

What Wheel manufacturer is best capable of offering a Custom Wheel at a fair price?

What Wheel Manufacturer has the best Customer Service?

Is being built in the USA an important factor in your buying decision even if it means you have to spent a bit more money?

All input is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to find out what peoples perspective and experiences, have been with the different Wheel manufacturers, and what do they wish had been different?

Please list only positive experiences one has had if they are current sponsors of
this Forum.

I don't want in anyway to cause any detrimental discussions about any vendor who has spent money to advertise on this site. If you have a problem with any of them, please report your problem to the website administrator, if you want to email me, and that is allowed by the owners of this forum, then I would certainly appreciate that as well.

If you have thoughts not otherwise mentioned above, please feel free to express these thoughts.

Thank again for your time and opinions.

Sincerely,

Ty O'Neal
