Blitz wheels, and where they come from...

I was browsing through wheels, and came across these Blitz techno speeds. I've always loved them. Anyway, I was at Neweraparts.com and the description says that Blitz is from Japan. When I read that, I said to myself, that's not right, Blitz is a European company, which I though was well known. Maybe there's something I don't know, but.... Looks like they goofed up the description!

Here's a shot of the New Era site:




And this is directly from Blitz's website:

Edit: I donno, just know what you're buying before you buy it? Yeah that sounds good. My post should have a point I guess.

Re: Blitz wheels, and where they come from...

It says largest tuning companies IN Japan. Not made in japan. Its marketing bullshit that can mean a variety of things. They could be the largest by volume sold, largest by number of stores, etc.... it doesnt mean its made there.
Spoon wheels are made in Russia... everyone thinks they're mAd JdM y0!

Heh, ya I know what you mean. I love how if you type in JDM into e-bay you get 19 thousand results... makes me wonder how much of that just has jdm in the description to that item to show up in search results without really being JDM.
