weld wheels
 
Hey everyone, Im lookin for a new set of wheels for my truck, ive been reading around and noticed a lot of you guys here having problems with weld wheels ... I wanted to grab these weld method wheels for cheap cheap ...

I've ran 4 sets and never had an issue.

I've ran 16x10, 20x10, 18x8.5 and 20x12, all one piece forged great wheels.


Only issues I've ever seen have been with the older two piece wheels cracking at the seam or Stone Crushers and Mountain Crushers clicking at the faux beadlock and collecting dirt.

its a tough call, whats the deal that I read as well about weld not being their own company because of bankrupcy and american racing owns them now ?

how does it effect me now by buys these wheels ?

will a 17x12 fit my stock f250 4x4? it doesnt say the backspacing, but onthe weld site it says ford 3/4 ton trucks ....

these are them Weld Method

17x12 on a stock height truck?

What tire?


They will rub a whole lot unless you do some cutting.

Back Space is 4.5" and offset is -51mm



I think any wheels made since American Racing bought them are covered.


Methods are a one piece, forged, hub-centric wheel....great wheel at a steal of a price with the sale.
I'd be surprised if 4wp still had any in stock as the sale has been going on for a few weeks now and since they are selling them for less than half of dealer cost and a lot of people were buying quick.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy.....I bought (and a bunch of my friends did as well) when the sale first started.

Ive had a bunch of Welds over the years for cars and trucks.Back when they were owned by Weld they had some of the best customer service ive ever dealt with and great quality wheels.I also bought a set of the methods from 4WheelParts only in 17x8.5 a few weeks back and have some 37" tires mounted waiting until i put the lift on in a few weeks.I can say no one picks up the phone and my Email's were returned unswered when i tryed to reach them with a question on center caps so either there no more are there going through more changes.

Guys I called the number on the weld website and got no answer. I then called American Racing a got a hold of someone. I also had a question on center caps and the gentleman on the phone told me at the time they had plenty in thier kansas wharehouse. I was able to pick up my center caps on ebay for half the cost.
