Gage: you'd be surprised to learn that only 20% of NSMB readers are Canadian (38% are American). So for for 80% of our readers, WAO wheels aren't made in their country. Lots of Americans may opt for Reynolds as an American company even if the rims aren't made domestically.
Look around a bit wider. Also, life would be so boring if everyone ran the exact same wheels. Or frame. Or suspension. Or tires. Let's embrace the fact that people have varied reasons for making purchase decisions - there is very rarely, if ever, an undisputed winner in the gear wars.
Don't forget that if you're ordering your wheels direct - ie. as an American ordering from WAO - you're looking at shipping, duties and taxes. It changes the formula for people that don't live in the same country as the company they're ordering from (if it's a direct sale).
