18" Weld Velociti 6

These are on sale on tirerack.com. Never seen them for less than $450 before. Just paid $299 and $30 to ship. If you ever wanted these wheels now is the time to order. Plus no sales tax for me in CA.

I loved this rims for the longest time but they were so expensive.
I ened up getting a set of Chrome 18" Mazzi's for 200 each.
They're soooooo nice!!!!

I just checked out the 20s and they are closeout also. Originally $663 now $439. Nice but still spendy. They look light for 20s (29.5lbs). I guess your paying for the quality and materials used rather then a 35-40lb hunk of chromed steel that cost 200 clams each.

They just showed up at my house. Cant wait to get the leveling kit installed and get these things put on. And I still cant believe that price. One place in my town wanted $600 each.

Plus they are forged from one piece of aluminum for strength.

And if I am correct isnt forged aluminum lighter then cast hence the higher prices as well? Lighter is better though when it comes to rotating mass and I am sure your brake system will be a bit more thankful.

Yes, forged is lighter.

They fit. Thank the lord. I was worried. Thought the tires would rub, but plenty of clearance. Only close spot is between the upper ball joint and the tire (325/60/18). Are all the rest of you close there (about 1/4")? 1 tire is done, 3 more to mount and balance, Ill post pics later.

Damn, I wish these would of been for sale when I was buying wheels. I've loved these wheels for the longest time. I have a friend that had these on his F-250.

I was also thinking about getting similar ones to those. The welds are extremely expensive but I have found similar ones that I was close to buying but decided to go with the motos

All finished. Hard to believe how much taller it made it. My 5' tall girlfriend had a hard time before, now she really has a hard time getting in.



This worries me a little though. Any comments on it? Is everybody elses this close?
