Your plans, products, and communications are encouraging. Thanks!
How will Canadians be able to buy? Or should I pick it up in USA? I can probably ask someone essential to bring it over.
Any idea on pricing and when the group buy will start? Ready to buy wheels and want to make sure these fit in the budget.
Does that mean shipping in April?Pricing, wheel weights, and other details will be released before the end of this month. The Group Buy will start sometime in March.

We will have a better idea of shipping times once the initial production run is finished up. Ideally, we are aiming for Early May taking into consideration the recent COVID-related port/customs delays we have been experiencing with incoming shipments recently.Does that mean shipping in April?
The internet says China.Customs delays? Where are you guys having these built?

They are manufactured in China. We label that on the box and it's stamped on the backside of the wheel.
The key to successful production in China is doing your own engineering, QC and independent validation of testing. Although factories in China claim to have various certificates and conduct in-house testing, there is nothing formal keeping them honest. Unfortunately, the USA doesn't require any specific test be conducted to ensure the quality of a wheel.

Is it? I mean, if there were domestically produced, they'd be $600/wheel for a flow formed wheel (that's a guess, I actually can't think of a US made FF wheel, pretty sure the HRE FF are also MiC, they just have the HRE markup.) Would you still be interested?
well, that's unfortunate.
