Weld Racing 71MB8080B52A RT-S S71 18x8 Black Anodized Wheel 5x4.75 BP 5.2in Backspace Medium Pad

The Weld Racing RT-S S71 is a purpose-built performance wheel that blends proven racing engineering with street-ready versatility. This 18x8-inch wheel features a black anodized center, a 5x4.75-inch bolt pattern, 5.2-inch backspace (18mm offset), and a medium pad height designed to clear high-performance factory brake systems found on performance cars from the late 1980s onward, as well as many popular aftermarket brake setups.

Engineered using a 3-piece welded construction, the S71 combines a forged billet aluminum center with cold forged rim shells — delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that meets or exceeds both SFI 15.1 Drag Race Drive Wheel Specifications (15-inch diameter only) and SAE J2530 Aftermarket Wheel (Street) Standards. All wheels are validated through FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and in-house destructive testing.
