Ah,

So it looks like Reynolds High End stuff is made here (kind of like bontrager) and they also manufacture other high end rims here. The rest of it is sent overseas to be made but the molds are still made in Utah, that's honestly not a bad strategy for them.

Bontrager XXX hoops are made here with DT Swiss stuff;

American Hoops;

Bontrager XXX
Enve
Reynolds RZR
Zipp

True American Wheels;

Enve with Industry or King hubs?

It appears that zipp is still kicking it in Indianapolis with its production;

True american wheels when the spokes don't count? Most common spokes are Sapim (Belgium) and DT Swiss (Switserland). And then we still need rim tape, a tube and a tire (or tubular or tubeless tire with sealant)...

Andy,

Thank you so much for responding! I went to the website and saw the huge banner about the rims being made/manufactured here in the USA. It does not get much clearer than that;



American Hoops;

Bontrager XXX
Enve
Reynolds RZR
Zipp
HED

As close to fully made American Wheelset from the factory;

Enve with Industry or King hubs?

Looks like DT Swiss makes spokes in Grand Junction, Colorado, USA.

"Between this facility and a similar one in Grand Junction, CO DT Swiss produces the vast majority of their several million spokes each year..."

Wheelsmith are also manufactured in the US: "Our spokes are manufactured in-house at Hayes’ global headquarters in Mequon, Wis"

I had thought that, too. But on rereading their site, it only says they're built here.

Did I miss something?
