Weld Racing 71HB7090A62A RT-S S71 Forged Aluminum Wheel 17x9 Black Anodized 5x4.5 6.2BS High Pad

The Weld Racing RT-S S71 is a high-performance forged aluminum wheel that bridges the gap between championship-caliber racing technology and street use. Built as a three-piece modular assembly using a unique welded construction process, this 17x9 wheel delivers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio without sacrificing durability or style.
