Weld Racings new RT-S wheel

[Chris Hansen]

Recently, Weld Racing had designed a three-piece welded construction version of their RT wheel, from their original three-piece bolted together version. This new RT-S design is available in sizes ranging from 15"-18" diameters and 3.95"-15.275" widths for newer cars with bigger brakes. I ordered a set in for my Camaro, and figured I'd share them here for anyone looking for a light weight streetable 3-piece drag wheel at an affordable price.

Just an old picture of it. It now has a brand new front clip on it, a 6" cowl, and these wheels will be on it. Hoping to have it painted this fall.

are they heavier then the RT? The RT have a 2400lb weight per axle and the RT-S wheels have a 3160lb weight per axle. Plus the RT-S are half the cost of normal a normal RT.....i might have to call Weld and ask them this :undecided

They look to be great and I had a set on order a couple of weeks ago but they told me it was an 8 to 10 week back order. Sadly I cancelled and ordered Champions (which I like very much). I didn't want to wait but I'm sure the Welds will be fantastic.

I didn't ever weigh my RT wheels, but I did weigh these RTS wheels. The RTS wheel is also an SFI 15.1 certified wheel.

You can't except them to be extremely light for a street design, but they are not as heavy as some "drag" wheels.

thats pretty light tho, if i remember my billet specialties are right about 16lbs same 15.1/ street wheel and not much cheaper..

these heavier or lighter than the pro stars?

I'd say they're about the same. Might be 1lb heavier, but they're A LOT stronger than Prostars.
