    Not a lot of people know Toyota makes their Aluminum wheels for all of North America in Vancouver, Canada. I've worked at the plant as a contractor and can assure you the quality control is absolutely insane. Higher than I've seen in some Aerospace plants. As stated in the article, the tiniest blemish sends the whole wheel back into the furnace.

    Anyways......came across this article while discussing QA on another thread. Thought a few might find it an interesting read. Also speaks volumes about the kind of company you are supporting when you buy a Toyota. Class act in how they treat their employees.
