Good luck, Last I heard Weld Wheels went bankrupt last year (or year before??). Someone may have bought them, not sure but I did get a letter a while back from bankruptcy attorney asking if they owned me any money and to file a claim (I was a Weld dealer at the time).

EDIT: Google search shows ARE (American Racing Equipment) bought their assets so they have resurected/saved the brand.

Do your Methods have tapped holes to accept that cap?


I'm guessing you have the black snap in caps that they come with?

Yea,i know ARE bought them out a couple years ago when they were bankrupt.Seems like they just kind of let them die a slower death everyone had a fire sale on there Weld wheels the past month's.

Damn,i just went in the Garage and looked 2 of the wheels have the tapped holes and 2 dont I hope they didn't send me two that fit something else.I already had tire's mounted on them waiting on the truck to be lifted.Is there anyway to measure the lug pattern without having the truck here to trial fit.

Looks like im stuck using the snap in centers though.

Measure from the center of the hole to the center of the hole in the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions.

Basically measure center to center on two lug holes that are directly across from each other.

SD bolt pattern is 8x170mm
170mm=6.6929"

So the distance should be 6.6929".

Only other 8lug they'd have would be the 8x6.5" So it would be easy to tell.


Those Methods you pictured appear to have a real bead lock ring....vs. a faux bead lock ring on the regular Methods.


I picked up (as did a few of my friends) some 20x12 Methods during that sale since they were well below cost on those wheels. None of mine are tapped.

Thanks,looks like there all four 170mm.I got the 17x8.5 and two of mine are tapped and two are not so i will have to use the centers they came with.I just think the others that cover the lugs look better.

I thought those bead lock rings were an option Weld offered called pro-loc are something.They Look real but were not are the screws in the ones we have not removable i thought you took the screws out to install those.

Weld does/did offer some wheels in a true bead lock (off road use only).....pretty sure they were/are a different wheel.
