The fact of the matter is the us labor force is not yet ready to adopt the Chinese labor model. We would have to go back to the late 1800s and early 1900s to even come close to competing with them. Lower wages, longer hours, little or no employer benefits, little if zero workplace and environmental protection, and other concessions. We are getting closer in some respects, but still nowhere near. I wonder what PI pays for each wheel...I bet we would be blown away at the per unit cost.

The United States labor force is the best in the world...bar none.
"Not yet ready to adapt the Chinese labor model" makes my blood boil.
I can't EVEN go there.

Getting back to the topic....

Damn, thanks for the heads up on the rims Whiz!!

Based strictly on what I'm seeing on the outer surface of my chrome rims?
There is not a doubt in my mind that this is a very major REAL concern.

Granted, I'm not doing a state of the art job on keeping my wheels clean but there is a big difference from wiping off road grit and polishing out surface rust and corrosion pitting...which is what I find myself doing now.
