Weld Racing 71HB8055A21A RT-S S71 18x5.5 Black Anodized Wheel 5x4.5 2.1in Backspace

The Weld Racing RT-S S71 is a premium 3-piece forged aluminum wheel that brings Weld Racing's proven motorsport technology to the street. This 18x5.5 front runner wheel features a black anodized forged billet center paired with cold forged rim shells, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio suited for both street and strip use.

Engineered with a 5x4.5 (5x114.3mm) bolt pattern and 2.1-inch backspace (-29mm offset), this wheel is purpose-built for high-clearance front fitments on performance and drag-oriented builds. The high mounting pad configuration is designed to clear modern multi-piston opposed caliper brake systems, including factory-installed Brembo setups and aftermarket race brake packages from Baer, Wilwood, and others.
