I’m waiting on these from ATOMIC-WHEELS.COM back order until mid NovemberI want this thread to be of help to me and others who are trying to find new wheels to our model S.
Fine if you want to add dimension, and possibly where you bought the rims.
This might have been posted before. But I could not find anything. So arrest me if I repost.

seen this brand peddling RIvian wheels too on a facebook group. home garage business. no inventory. pass. made to order in China.
Not sure if you've looked at any other brands but the majority of forged wheels are made to order. BC Forged, Signature wheels etc isn't going to have inventory just sitting around unless someone backed out of their order. My guess is it's not China, it's prob Taiwan which makes the majority of the forged wheels for these companies. Nothing wrong with them being made in Taiwan and if you want to pay for a wheel that's made in USA you're gonna be limited to something like HRE and then whip out that fat stack of money for the price difference.
Thank you for the clarification
Probably all our phones are made in China & many parts and software in our Teslas 
These are my favorites in satin black but only make them in 20’ & 21’ I’m buying 19’Thank you for the clarification
They look interesting but probably take forever to clean. I'd ceramic coat them first thing.
It all depends how often your using the brake pedal to stop They do make a very effective spray chemical that washes off all the dirt/power with a water hose.

Yeah Danny @MODEL+ and the guys over at System Motorsports can help (won’t let me tag their handle for some reason).

We powdercoat all our forged wheels locally in Los Angeles. DM us and we'll be happy to assist with a sample.

No issues with manufacturing in China or Taiwan. Hell the majority of the parts in Tesla's are now made in China. Both countries are making solid forged wheels nowadays (a lot of times with better aluminum).
My point was buyers beware:
-Websites with ONLY e-mails or contact forms
-No phone numbers
-No physical address where a business is paying rent
-Too many fly by night "I own a wheel company" home garage companies popping up left and right

Love the 10.5's
Nitpicking: I understand designing for optimal strength with the least weight. But from a hands-on maintenance/washing perspective, I hate to see the small holes between the spokes near the lug holes. Just tough to clean/keep clean. Would rather have that filled in. I wouldn't care about the few oz's it adds.
Otherwise, gorgeous shoes!

Totally get it! I always ceramic coat my wheels ($200) so dirt just washes off easily with a pressure cleaner.. never need a brush.
I would say there’s a big difference between China and Taiwan quality especially wheels. If you ever look at aftermarket products that has the country of origin you’ll notice that Taiwan is noticeably better
One example is Alpharex tail lights versus other companies that offer taillights. They’re made in Taiwan.
