- Who doesn't want aftermarket wheels? They look better than most oem wheels, perform better, are lighter, and well... they're dope as hell.
BUT there are a few things about aftermarket wheels that most people don't know. Luckily, that's what we're about. So sit back, enjoy, and learn a thing or two!

Fitment Industries are fuel wheels produced here in America? If yes my wheels have a lot of orange peel here and there and the lip has a bump and the shop I went to told me that fuel wheels don’t cover that as warranty.
I actually do not know where they are made or much of anything about this truck wheel sorry man!
Asking a genesis coupe owner questions.
Fitment Industries I would love to know whose idea it to make cars look like they've been dropped off a building.
When you stop with the annoying background "music" I'll come back an subscribe!
i got kicked out of my high school sex ed class last year cause we were talking about sexually transmitted infections and when ask which one i thought was the most common STI i said probably the 02 to 05 blobeye generation
😂
And then everyone clapped
@@melody3741 lmao I wish, a couple people laughed but I think they we're laughing at me not with me. *My class is full of normies*

@@andyboswell3590 in case you didn't pick up on it, i made a joke because a lot of people who tell unbelievable fake stories say "and then everyone clapped", so I was implying your story was fake. But tbh it seems pretty believable. I just didn't think someone would kick you out of class for making such an innocent joke.
I still want nismo stocks on everything
YES
What we didn’t know about Fitment Industries
Actually working on that right now!! Stay tuned!
I used to work for a wheel distributor and my experience with aftermarket wheels is that they usually are Chinese made, they are heavy and they are of low quality. In my experience, they were usually universal fit and were blank at the lug area and we would put them on the CNC machine to drill the proper lug pattern for the vehicle they were going on. The offset was usually just in the general vicinity of what was required (sometimes we would use spacers). Centering them required the use of hub rings which was a different size ring for every different make. The worst part was when a client would curb or crash his/her vehicle and we couldn't sell them just one or two replacement rim(s). Common problems were the yellowing and peeling of the chrome. Since that experience, I've never replaced the wheels on any car I've owned unless it was with a different style rim from the same make of the vehicle.
They are called hub centric rings.
It's not where the wheels are made, it's all about quality material and quality control.
China only uses the finest in cheap materials and there is no quality control. Don't buy fitment wheels unless you like paying top dollar for shit products.
@HexagramMan hes not racist, what kind of quality do you believe you get from people paid almost nothing ? Everyone on planet earth knows everything manufacturered in China for cars is crap save for you ....... Its not racist , its true.
VERY Well-Stated!👍🏾
@@slaughterandmayhem Chinese companies will make what you want, if you want cheap product they will make it and if you want top notch product they will make it. Its to what you want from them and how much you will pay.
Thats why Dub wheels are the best, made in US.
LMAO @ 6:40 as the fender lip wedges between the rim and the tire...jankity-jank
EEK!
Pft. Who needs tires anyway. Weight reduction.
Lol I just saw that. Jank
I would take Japan made wheels anyday compared to US made in same price range.
I bet you drive a sub $10k shitbox too
TLDR: most wheels are made in asia
saved you 9 minutes
@Menachem Goldfarb China is in Asia. Asia's just a continent.
@@xxxod hes not wrong tho
BBS Forged,Rays,HRE,CCW and IForged...Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for.
TUV approved wheels bottom line. Enkei builds excellent wheels that are rotary forged. HRE's forged line is super expensive to get into. BBS, Rays at least give you more options which is nice.
@@d1sturb3d119 What does TUV Stand for?
In this context, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!👍🏼

You guys killed the crazy jump cuts and now the video flows much more smoothly :D love the channel, keep up the awesomeness!
Nobody thinks the wheel made in Japan is garbage...
Yes, I also thought the same...
I really don't know why they mentionned JAPAN after the other two countries...
smh
Facts
I think boomers might? But they don't buy aftermarket wheels...
Honestly, I'd probably buy a Chinese wheel before an American wheel
@@Kev27RS the only Japanese wheel people think our crappy is enkei
Yo it was my first time watching a Fi video with earphones. Was bobbin my head whole way through. Gotta appreciate the background beat. So dope
This is great behind the scenes Aftermarket Wheels Industry knowledge!
i don’t like aftermarket rims their too fast for my car 🚗😔🚶🏻♂️
Hey man, came across your channel a few days ago and it's been helping me learn so much because I'm about to finally pick up a 2016 WRX next week, good stuff and keep the vids coming bro
Thanks man don't forget to upload your ride to our gallery we would love to see pics of the WRX! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Bros, seriously my favorite vid! I want more of the nerd side of all this. You should make something specifically for people who want to learn more...nerd out on me yo!
You are fantastic ! That's a awesome video with some motivation of enthusiasm about the real world , Thanks !
Very educational, great video
You're right. Forged parts has more material per size, which means it's harder because of the metal density. With that extra material that indeed adds mass though. What I love about mulitpiece wheels is the fact you can sorta 'mix-n-match' combinations, and if you get struck in an accident and your rim got broken, you can go replace the damaged part.
The truth about the industry nowadays is that you can never make it alone, unlike back in the days that subtle differences makes a huge difference, but with the mass production sameness of today you can not really complain anymore. You're better off with a custom set of wheels of you really want 'strict' customization.
Just wondering what you think of Asanti Wheels? been looking at the AF147's
Underappreciated.
This was some pretty good information, thank you.
I wasn't aware of any of this. Well done Mr. Alex, This is like the fifth video of yours as I was planning on buying some new coil overs and some new wheels for my VW MK2. After watching your videos I have decided to stay STOCK and have a comfortable ride vs. low pro tires. Not sure on the wheels yet. I have some org 13 from a rabbit 🐰 who is from Germany.
And some factory struts. Thanks for your help.
Question...I have a 2018 infiniti q50 red sport. I will be lowering my car with rsr springs. Can I run a 20x9.5 in the front and a 20x10.5 in the rear with any rubbing? Would I have to roll the fenders in the front?
Check out our gallery to dial in your specs! www.fitmentindustries.com/wheel-offset-gallery?year=2018&make=Infiniti&model=Q50&sort=date
That was really one of the best videos I've seen this year.
❤️🙏🏼
The editing 😍😍 I still need to add my trok to custom offsets, but great video. I look forward to these videos

I love this young man. Entertaining, knowledgable, factual and just a smidge too quick for this old dude. BTW: When a product is imported, the onus is on the importer, as that is whose specifications must be met?
If you don’t understand why it’s more money in oem wheels here’s a better explaination. I used to work in a wheel refurbishing plant in Tampa. I did quality assurance, wheel/wheel cover/steel wheel selection, work orders, customer wheels, shipping and stock wheel transfers. I used to have to balance 48 to 56 wheels depending on size on 3 to 4 pallets sometimes more. Most where transfers and usually 2 were customer ships. The transfers were all stock wheels. It more Money in stock wheels because people replace oem wheels more due to wrecks and ware and tear. Most of the wrecked wheels came from up north where it snows of course. I’d ship dozens of pallets of stock wheels to Miami every week.
Oh my God..... I forgot he did this series.... this was such a good series being it back!!!!
What type of issues if any would I run into if I were to powder coat a set of OEM lightweight Rays wheels off a 09 Nissan 370Z?
first minute was simply self advertising and i find it amusing
Finally someone that explains the whole alloy and metals manufacturing and finishing origin. it just doesnt stop at wheels , its from everything from kitchen knives to tool boxes to building materials. thats why we have stuff from overseas and vice versa that are actually good
Thanks for the advice bro 😎
So many "Made is USA" things aren't really made in the USA anyways.
Can you guys do a video on what wheels and tires can fit a Miata NA/NB
Alex man love your channel!
Are there any good wheels for trucks that aren’t the basic 5 spoke wheel, I have a 06 Silverado and when I searched by vehicle I got nothing
How do I figure out if a wheel that’s for my car would it flush? When I put 2012 Golf TDI it seems like each wheel would sit all over the place. Can yo help or how do I calculate what size rim and tire.

Hi Alex . From fitment . I hope you can give me some advice. I currently have an infiniti Q50 with the stock wheels 17 inch I like the comfort not so much the look I want 19 inch wheels with out sacrificing the comfort what can i get . Thks
What's up man take a look here and see what we have available for your Infinity! bit.ly/2PLwcce
That beat is fire
Hey fit ment I have a question I have a 2003 wrx bug eye and I bought some white fifteen 52s do you know of any powder coating businesses that have a good name because I want to
Make them bronze
We only have one place by us that does our powder coating! I am not sure where you are from but you might be able to ask a local shop or dealership they might know!
is it possible to stretch a one size smaller then the rim for example a 19 by 10.5 with like a 215/35 18 or no?
No doesn't work
Not really possible, If you like we have an online gallery that is perfect for referencing all of your fitment questions! bit.ly/2Ma4oca

Hey Fitment Industries, got a set of Volvo Neptune wheels on my s40. The hub bore is 63.4 and the neptunes are 67.1. I have hubcentric ring to fit it on but i want wheel spacers as well to get a bit more fitment for my lowering springs when they are put on. How would i be able to add the wheel spacers going off of which bore size?
What's up man for technical fitment questions shoot us an email at wheels@fitmentindustries.com
@@FitmentIndustries Thanks guys! lll just shoot ya the same thing here in an email!
That intro though... Take my like, sir.
@1:39 what model and year is that Audi and are those aftermarket or factory headlights? I've been trying to find those headlights.
2013-2017 S5?
Hollow carbon rims should be the next big wheel craze.
Regarding the Made in USA tag. Let's be honest most wheels produced overseas are better quality. In fact that's mostly true to entire vehicles not just the wheels!
Like a salesman used to tell me, when the product is good WE (salesman) don't need to sell it! The buyers simply show up and BUY it... Harley Davidson being a prime example. LOL 😂
Alex love your videos mann!!!! But BBS does make oem wheels for a couple car companies
My ISFs OEM wheels are BBS
Theres a miata edition that comes with bbs rs
Yeah lots of bmw came with BBS and BBS/Mahle wheels, since beginning of times!
There’s also some AMGs I believe, and Toyotas
Well young people!!!!! BBS actually made wheels back in the late 80s for the convertible RX7. The only car full convertible or targa top. This is when Maxda and Porsche looked like twins.
But there 3 peice wheels are still an Aftermarket beast!
I run Forgeline wheels because they're high quality competition wheels which are made in America. :)
I love the OEM wheels on my car. They match the trim on the rest of the vehicle. Besides sport/racing wheels would look silly on a Lincoln Town Car. Maybe I should get a GTR, oh yeah.
I want to know the difference between an OEM and replicas. Why is the OEM 4X the price? Is the copy not as good or unsafe?
Thats a good idea where could i find a company that would tell us about the wheels
i got an ad on youtube from you at the begining and i thought the video had started
Thanks for the interesting and informative video, Alex.
The OEM wheels on my 370Z sport pkg are Rays 19" forged aluminum monoblocks that are made in Japan, weighing 23 & 24 lbs.
The replacement wheels I'm getting are from Litespeed Racing in LA. They are 19" forged magnesium monoblocks that weigh about 14 to 15 lbs in my sizes, 19 x 9 & 19 x 10. One of the reasons that I chose this company is that their wheels are entirely designed and manufactured here in California from the metal alloys they formulate to the hydraulic presses and CNC milling machines and lathes.
Years ago when I was buying gear for my electric bass, I purposely sought out stuff that was designed and made in the US. I did have to pay more but it was worth it to me, as I never had any quality issues with the equipment and the instrument was not difficult to set up and maintain its setup.
The point of all this is that I believe there are good choices for people in finding US made products, if people are willing to pay a little extra for good design and good quality of construction. My ex used to waste tons of money on cheaply made shoes made abroad that never felt good and that fell apart quickly. She wound up spending more in the long run than she would have if she had just bought some well-made shoes from the start. The Michelin tires that I put on my car are more expensive than those brands made in Asia but the cost per actual mile driven over the lifespan of the tire is no more than the cost of any other decent quality tires.
I’m liking the new edits
Economies of scale, and the "general" populations here in Merica' not keeping up with mathematical yearly inflation rate on the earning side. Great information as usual.
You are the linus tech tips of the car world
Please can you advise the public about low profile tires.
I'm glad you mention that outside US wheel manufacturers are often much better than US ones.. just mention BBS and OZ.. enough said.
Explain the effects of angular momentum of heavy rims!
Where can i see more of the brz/frs that's in the thumbnail
Do I lower my car first then put wheels on? Or Visa versa
Well said Sir.
If it is made in Japan, is good!!!
Weeaboo! Weeaboo weeaboo weaboo!
And its Jdm as fuck bro😂
Pearl harbor!
ivan rivas their wheels are too soft.
who makes the hard wheels? @@DIgitusSmartas
Quite informative sir now if perhaps could you vid a piece which concerns the failure rates of oem as against "the aftermarkets" now i live in a third world country with main roads to extremes of debiliatory conditions so you can see my growing concern, now does looking good equate to safe?
Very good point! You’d be surprised how badly you can get hurt if your ride is to low!
4:46 that pandering was priceless!!! 😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂💀💀
Please do Titan Wheels vs Speedwell Industries, both claim to be made in the USA, forged, etc. Both have the same techniques. Seems like Titan has been around longer. Speedwell has been working on their FB ad game
Only with I need to know is how to get a set of split (2 piece) AMG 18" "monoblocks" for my w202
Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can take a look at that for you!
@@FitmentIndustries thanks, but I do not have the money for them atm, saw a set for 1.5k dollars
4:36 I thought Vossens were made in America, but you show them when you were talking about wheels made overseas.
can you do a video on rolling and pulling fenders, the difference between the two and how to go about them, i dont think there is a solid video online (y)
Check out this video! --> bit.ly/2OMfGcq
There’s no info on rolling and pulling fenders it just sounds like you’re trying to say my wheels don’t fit? Lol?
Damn, if only there was a company like that ;)
So does this explain why all the cool wheels I keep looking at for my S550 mustang costs 1,500 bucks or more a peice yet my Jeep got cool wheels for less then 300 a peice .
Bro...you have a new subscriber!💪
Thats a long intro and I really liked that 'news' edit with the headlines part. Fun to see what happens when the editors lease is loose
One thing you could add is when you have the click subscribe animation you could slap the current sub count on the sub button to keep the hype for the next milestone. Maybe.
I like your thought process!
AWESOME 👊
THANKS 👌
FOR THE GREAT INFO. 💪💯%
AMEN 😇✌️👏
LOVE THE CHANNEL
😆👊😂😁😎🤫🤥
What wheels are on the purple Audi?
Cool vid👌 but why the porche have 2 set of wheels?😁
Informative
That color in the thumbnail 🔥
8:08 so true! in my eyes only 2 cars have come out in the last 10 years and managed not to do this the Toyota 86 and the R35 GT-R
and now that i think about it even some of the R35 concept cars were completely ridiculous
Which type of wheel is strongest(avoiding bending) For northeast living with very bad roads? Cast/forged/2piece? Materials?
I would recommend maybe some Konig wheels or maybe Enkei wheels, or wildcard here some Motegi's
@JezBollah 667 Forged wheels are made to be lighter. Not stronger unless it weighs as much as a cast variant. My volks are 16 lbs a piece and bend easily compared to the forged OEM BBS's I have that are heavy, 22lbs, but forged. Forged for strength not for weight savings. Quite a lot of differences. Just buy a wheel that fits your budget. I'd pressure cast with the idea of replacement in mind. Also thicker profile tires.
@JezBollah 667 I think the Germans do wheels right. BMW's always look great IMO. All my Lexus's have different wheels.
My comfy ride is an SUV so when my back aches the wife takes the "sports car" lol.
That way I get to keep the aggressive wheels :D
Those RF2 in the rear.... want
barely understood a thing since I kept looking at that Porsche in the backgrond
Could you guys show us history on SevenK wheels I just found them online they look really original and very creative.
I needed this channel in high school. Maybe it would’ve kept me from being shoved in so many lockers if I would’ve known 16 inch chrome wheels on a Pontiac grand am wasn’t cool. Ughhhhhhh
I need 5x110 spacers what sizes do you have
Shoot us an email shop@fitmentindustries.com and we can help you with that!
U guys really don't get tried 2 videos again love it
No sir, We don't get tired over here. 💪🏼

Japan??
What's bad about wheels being produced in Japan??
Didn't expect the country to appear at all, after mentioning the other two countries...
Yea. What's bad about ANYTHING being produced in Japan??
@@RanjMN
Right?!
Nothing at all!
Kev27RS He was being lazy and wrong about Japanese wheels
One of the best looking rims ever made the Volk Racing Te37 come from Japan
Nothing
I'd like to know if forged wheels are really "better" than cast, particularly in real world / non-racing applications.
They are , stronger and lighter.....
Do a video on the "couple 2 or 3" best OEM wheels please!
Rotty Travis Those bmw 335i sport ones off like a 2008 are really nice for an oem wheel in my opinion
What color wrap is that on the frs in the thumbnail ?
@ Scion2low shoot him a DM and ask him!
Now why would you go with those glasses when they make the exact same pair in carbon fiber? :P
Some people talk shit abt xxr wheels yet they've been proven to withstand daily, drag and especially drifting. I personally had my xxr 527 wheels on my s13 for 6yrs & drift & daily. No problems
Hey man, I was looking at a set o XXR's for my speed3! You should upload your ride to our gallery we'd love to see it sometime! bit.ly/2Ma4oca
Whats the name of that beat tho? 🔥
Same with AR-15 parts. Lowers are made by just a handful of companies and everyone puts their own logo on it.
A video I would like to see is " what wheels / tires fit 02 -07 wrx" I know you guys do tons of Subaru vids and if y'all have already covered it in a video i probably missed it... but Ive owned a bugeye for about 5 months now and am almost ready to start looking into wheels and tires... I've read tons of comments and threads and know exactly the look I want to go for, maybe even the wheel in particular, but I can't put it on paper in terms of numbers when it comes to "offset" "width" "side wall length" "poke" and so on.
We def have a series we are woking on called " What wheels fit " and the Subaru is on that list so I would stay tuned for what we have down the road!
Im against this type of stuff. I understand getting rough ideas and stuff but its like the car community lost the sense to put in the work themselves and also every car is different . one person could be lower and have more camber or one could have an aggressive pull on fenders. Test fit some wheels and take measurements and you will have the fitment you want.
Fitment Industries can't wait! And yes I've been keeping with the series! Thanks for reply man, loving the content
Andrew Miller there is already enough info too I could see what people are already running and go off that
@@jeremym9140 exactly. People just want to be spoon fed now lol
What wheels are on the 911 in the background they look nice?
Rohana RFX 11's!
