USA Made Rims
Are you looking for just Rims or complete wheels?
Few shops or riders build wheels anymore, its becoming a bit of a lost art. I bought all the tools and have built, tensioned and trued my last two sets or wheels just for personal satisfaction. Most wheelsets today are Asian assembled and machine made
I'm not aware of any rim manufacturers here in the US. Other then the buy-it-here factor I can't see any advantage in buying a US made rim, the best made rims today are from Switzerland or France. The Velocity line which I believe are still made in Australia are solid too.
We do have a few hub makers here in the USA, Chris King and Phil Wood come to mind. These are high quality CNC parts so be prepared for sticker shock... A set of Chris King hubs laced onto quality rims with good spokes will cost ~$1000 for the wheelset!
