Weld Racing's most bitchin wheel yetBy Chad Posted 01/21/10
When Kyle Fickler, Scott Rider, and the Granite Creek investment group bought Weld Racing from American Racing Wheels in November of 2008, the industry knew good things were in store for Weld. Kyle and his band of merry engineers are real racers interested in supporting the racing and performance community. When they debuted their RT series of Street Strip wheels at PRI that same year, we were incredibly impressed. Bitchin designs, perfect execution, and fair pricing had us hooked, but when we met with Kyle and Marketing Director Greg Smith and saw the new V series, we just about fell over. Sexy doesn't begin to describe it.
Weld Racing's new product lines exude quality. It's really hard to look at one of these wheels and not want to touch every surface. There aren't any flaws. We've seen a lot of aluminum wheels, and these are most certainly the most finely machined and finished we've handled. The new V Series Drag Racing wheels are aggressive, classy, and available in sizes to fit almost any drag racing application. The other cool thing about them, is that Weld has now brought all of their Beadloc operations in house. Their Beadlocs are different than most on the market because they are a forged ring, and are available in profiles to fit your choice of tire. They are available gold, black or polished. "Kyle, you can send our 15x3.5 and 15x10s to the BangShift.com west coast headquarters. We'll take black Beadlocs."

No, I do not.
I assumed it was for a fueler, but I can still HATE IT, OK?

It's a dragster wheel judging by the spindle mount and the fact it is about two inches wide.

As a former machinist, I can appreciate the work that produced the wheel.
As a car guy, I can say that I hate the design - billet wheels just don't look right to me.
I'm old school - chrome reversed wheels, plain old mags, or chrome spiders are what I'd choose.

I don't care if they were made on the moon, I'd get a set....maybe just polished though, without the anodizing.

The coolest thing about a Weld Racing wheel is that it is made in USA! Right down the road from here in KC.
