The S71's classic 5-spoke star design is a hallmark of Weld Racing's heritage, combining aggressive aesthetics with the engineering precision demanded by modern sports cars, classic muscle cars, modified street machines, and pro-touring builds. Three mounting pad heights are available across the S71 lineup to accommodate a wide range of drum brakes, early disc systems, and multi-piston opposed calipers — this listing is the Medium Pad variant.

Each wheel is manufactured using primary forging-grade aluminum alloys and tested using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as in-house destructive testing to ensure safety and reliability under demanding conditions. The polished finish provides a clean, show-quality appearance that complements both street and strip applications.
