There is an easy answer to that. All these US companies that do custom wheels primarily have their wheels either made in China or sent to a company in California called MHT (HRE does their own work). These companies they hire out to cut the faces of the wheels themselves. After the wheel is cut, they then order the lip and barrel from another California company (or Chinese if made in China) since they rarely keep barrels and lips in stock. To get the wheel powdercoated, polished, or chromed, they are sent to a third party for that to get done. When it comes to assembly, they either do it themselves or hire it out to a third person.
For the most part, the Japanese companies own all the machines to do this and do everything in house.
