why are welds sooo dam expensive? i looked in2 gettin sum chyennes for my 02screw and the r like $420 apeice!!!!!!

 

I had draglites on my ranger splash back in 98 and 15x8 were $150 a piece and 15x10 were $180 and that was almost 10 years ago i guess its the price of aluminum that has gone up BTW nice lookin wheel(cheyennes)

 

I bought a set of used Weld wheels for my 00 Expy a few years back. I must say that those were the best wheels overall I have ever owned. Great quality and the easiest to balance of any set of wheels I have ever owned.

Not like a set of MB wheels I bought for my Ranger. Look good, but won't balance for nothing.

So if your after quality workmanship, I don't think you can beat the Weld wheels.

Like is often said, "you get what you paid for".

but I can't afford a new set myself. :o

 

Weld's are forged aluminum. Most aftermarket wheels are cast aluminum, which is less expensive to make, but not as strong.

 

Well that explains why I have seen guys off road be able to just use a rubber hammer and beat out a bent wheel.

Used to be able to do that on a set of Centerlines.

 

I've only had experience with their Draglites and they've held up great the three years I've owned them. Other then Draglites and Prostars the rest of their wheels aren't cheap at all.

 

Centerline still makes forged wheels, but they make a lot of cast wheels also.
