Weld Racing RT-S

Fed Ex delivered my new 17" Weld RT-S wheels yesterday that I bought from McCormack Racing (see my review in the vendor feedback section). Yes, these are the 17x10 and 17x5, as recommended in the Weld fitment guide. But just wanted to say that I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and craftsmanship of these wheels. They look awesome!!! Initially, Weld Racing told me their RT-S wheels were not compatible with TPMS systems, but I discovered that if I used a Dill Air Controls all-metal valve stem (P/N VS-925C) and flipped the sensor upside down, it works great!! I can see that I will definitely need to tie back the emergency brake cables in the rear. And hopefully, I won't need to notch my rear LCA's if I keep my rear ride height at or above OEM height. I plan on getting the new BMR adjustable LCA's when my budget permits, but that probably won't be for a while. As it sits right now (suspension fully extended), I have about 3/4" between the rear LCA and the inner lip of the wheel. Just thought I'd share some pictures and say that I am very happy with my decision to go with the Welds.....(so far). NOW I JUST NEED TIRES!!!
