Product Details

The Weld Racing RT-S S71 (71MP7045A17A) is a polished, 3-piece forged aluminum drag racing front wheel measuring 17 in. x 4.5 in. with a 5 x 4.50 in. bolt circle and 1.700 in. backspace. Built in Kansas City, MO, it combines race-proven engineering with street-friendly versatility as part of Weld's celebrated RT-S line.

The S71 uses a welded 3-piece modular construction featuring a forged billet aluminum center and cold-forged rim shells — delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio in a narrow front runner profile. This wheel is configured with the medium mounting pad height, engineered to clear high-performance factory brake systems as well as many popular aftermarket brake packages.

Key Features:

  • Size: 17 in. diameter x 4.5 in. width
  • Bolt Pattern: 5 x 4.50 in. (5 x 114.3mm)
  • Backspace: 1.700 in.
  • Finish: Polished aluminum
  • Pad Height: Medium — clears high-performance factory disc brake systems and many aftermarket setups
  • Construction: 3-piece welded assembly with forged billet center and cold-forged rim shells
  • Material: Primary forging-grade aluminum alloy
  • Configuration: Non-beadlock
  • Requires conical (acorn) lug nuts for 17 in. diameter fitment
  • Center cap and valve stem included
  • Meets SAE J2530 Aftermarket Wheel (Street) Standards
  • Made in Kansas City, MO, USA

The S71 skinny front wheel is a popular choice for drag racing applications where reducing front rotating mass is critical. The polished finish delivers a classic, clean look that pairs well with either polished or black rear wheels.

I saved so much by using Autoplicity! The shipping was fast and the website easy to navigate. I will use Autoplicity for all my future needs.

great prices, but one item is not in stock...I'm curious when the estimated delivery date is, which is not displayed.

fast shipping

Easy shopping, good prices. Would like just a little more specific information on the item descriptions.

Did not receive any confirmation emails. However contacted them VIA chat and they provided me with information. Shipping is on the slower side.

Best prices I could find online. Thank you

I would not hesitate buy from Autoplicity again!!! A+++

Great so far

Fast easy check out.

Unbeliveable customer service and super fast shipping. I had a question about my order and I was able to use the online chat function to instantly connect with a customer service agent that was quick to answer all my questions regarding my order. I am very pleased with the level of service I received not to mention the great price they offered on the item I purchased. I will be sure to continue doing business with Autoplicity for my automotive needs. Thanks so much. A+

Ordered a set of 5 steel wheels, distributor messed up and only sent me 4. 5th wheel is taking a good couple weeks to arrive due to the distributor messing up the shipment. Autoplicity did make things right and I can honestly say now I would recommend them.

Very easy purchase experience, new battery for my 2008 Prius fit perfectly! Hassle free, good price!
