weld wheels

[ckusy]

Just a heads up on weld wheels. Purchased a set of chrome renegade welDwheels about 18 months ago and centered caps have discolored very noticeable. Weld will not replace the center caps. Buyer beware.

Are they the alloy or plastic caps?

 

[NLofton]

Pretty common if they are plastic.

Hrmm, well with what they cost I wouldn't be too happy if that happened to mine.

I got the plastic covers cuz the alloy covers were not available at the time.

Thanks Vaughn, while I first liked their off road design a little better with the simulated rivets and "Weld EVO" stamped into the wheel lip, I got their street design because the back space is a little deeper at 5. 14" The smooth no logo lip I think looks good on the badgeless truck.



These are 17x8. 5 and still required flares.

Mine still look like the day I bought them and while not that old I have seen plenty other brands that are newer on other trucks around here and they look awful.

I've got a set of Weld Cheyennes's. Been on my truck for about 14 months. Color on my caps still looks good, but the metel rings that they put on the back of the cap to hold them on the rim are garbage. First set the rings were welded were they meet all were replaced with new spring loaded rings rather than welded. Two months of having them on i've already lost on of my caps. Does anyone know of a solution to keep the caps from becoming loose or falling off.

I recently inquired about Weld's at Discount Tires here in San Diego. They were extremely reluctant to sell any due to the problems with leaking. They'd replaced so many and eaten it on the labor that selling more was not high on their priority list. My neighbor had the same problems and switched to Centerlines.
