    Looking for info, are McLean wire wheels now made in countries other than the USA?
    I emailed McLean twice and got no response so am I to believe their wheels and now made in China?
    I wanted to run them on my new roadster but will look elsewhere if this is fact.
    I will only support North American products.
    Thanks.

    Good for you. I don't know the answer to your question...didn't even know McLean was still around.
    Just FYI , real rodder's wheels are beautiful, American made by hot rodders, and are on sale right now. They're a good deal.

    They are not wires,of course.

    Why not just call them?

    Wheelkid is the offspring of Gary McLean. He can tell you.

    Between calling, emailing & messaging him here...I ended up w/ a brief, useless reply to my PM with a few questions I had & he hasn't followed up to clarify. I've now placed an order with Coker for wires & after waiting 7 weeks (original backorder estimate of 6 weeks), my order ETA has been pushed back to August now.

    I'm taking a wild guess that the hub or hoop supplier for all mfrs is the same. No idea what the hold up is, but I'm about to cancel my order & go w/ something else. This is really disappointing.
