Weld RT-S Wheel, I bought them.
About 2 months ago I asked the question on Weld RT-S Wheels, well nobody had them. Okay I bought them. They look great, are made great Forged) and fit great. Right now I have stock brakes on but that is going to be short lived. I got the medium pad so bigger brakes will be no problem. The only problem I had was that the Weld techs tried to tell me that their offsets they had listed was right but as we on the thread discussed they were wrong. I went with the stock offset 33 and 52 and you can't tell the difference.
I did choose to go with the polished as opposed to the black spokes because I was worried if the black got scratched I would have to get the whole wheel refinished. The other difference is price. $2000 for all 4 and the billet centers and lugs. Plus they were made in the US.

Very nice wheels. Great choice and looks great on the car. Set of drilled rotors will look fantastic.

Re: Weld RT-S Wheel, I bought them.
They are warranted to be "true" radial and lateral run-out. They come with a 3 year Structural Warranty. So I feel pretty safe with them and I know their racing history.

Mike,
I appreciate the kudo. When you are ready for me to machine some caps just give me a holler. The emblems look great but you only got a bit of the one in the pic. Hope all is well. I'm doing taxes so life is not good right now ;-( Later, Carter

They favor Calloway wheels.

Those wheel's look great Jeff, they look as good as the very expensive Fikse's. Change out those center cap's for a set of CM flat button's.
