Come on BamaNomad, no matter where they're made there has to be some specs and their tolerances can't be that wide . I would call ARE and see if they are standard or not.

I'm sure each batch they make in China are made to a 'spec'.. The issue is how much the spec varies from one batch to another.. I've only had one product made in Taiwan/China, and we had many issues; they would change drill sizes, screw types, etc.. seemingly at will... very similar to dealing with a 'new manufacturing' operation here in the US; they 'have a new idea'.. and implement it.. and don't think that their customers *just might* be reliant on these things remaining constant within a part number... .. customers of these type operations are basically guinea pigs for paying for that 'new company's' prototyping efforts..
PS. One might think that ARE would control the specs for their wheels, even if made in the far east. I had an accident last year which destroyed one of the 15x7 ARE Torq Thrust (VN105) wheels, so I ordered ONE from Summit to replace it. The set was almost new at the time. When the ONE came in from Summit, the screws that held on the center cap for that one were different than the screws on the one I was replacing. SO that all four of my wheels would be the same, I ended up 'retapping' the holes in the new wheel and using the old wheel screws... (even the allen wrench size was different)... I DID call Summit who referred me to ARE service center in Illinois? or Ohio? before I 'fixed' the wheel myself...
