U.S.–China Tariff Update: What It Means for EKW Customers

As many of you may know, the U.S. government recently imposed new tariffs on goods imported from China. These include a broad 10% tariff on all imports, with a staggering effective rate of 145% on Chinese products, including many raw materials and components used in automotive manufacturing.

At EKW, we take pride in delivering premium forged wheels crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum with a strong focus on quality, precision, and performance. These new tariffs present a real challenge—not just to manufacturers like us, but to every customer who values quality craftsmanship at an accessible price.

That said, our commitment remains unchanged. We are actively working to minimize the impact of these rising import costs by:

• Exploring alternative supply chain options.
• Working closely with partners to maintain efficiency.
• Absorbing as much cost as possible before passing anything to the customer.

Our mission has always been to deliver track-proven performance and head-turning designs without compromising on affordability. While global trade dynamics continue to shift, we want to assure you that EKW is doing everything in its power to keep our wheels within reach of every car enthusiast and performance driver.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide transparent updates as they become available. Thank you for being part of the EKW community and trusting us with your builds.

Stay tuned, stay fast,
– The EKW Team
