I don't agree with it, but it simply is a fact of life.
Assuming that your wheels are still Brembo/Marchesini?

I don't doubt there are a handful of products that meet international standards. It's just that, IMO, the majority of everyday consumable itmes I see from there are more foten than not cheaply made crap. Personally I wouldn't trust any safety related products from them. I refuse to even buy Chinese tires.

This is not the only reason, we use Chinese suppliers as the response time is much faster than the local supplier and they are generally cheaper.Brian UK said:There is only one reason why companies outsource production to China, and it's not for better quality.
