I like these wheels a lot, but this is why I won't buy them!
i agree outside of tech its not like your going to run into anyone that has them, i have never seen a set of weld rts/ccw/fikse/ or anyother rim around where i live, the only rims i have seen is c6z rims on a z28 ,

You should probably sell your Trans Am, and buy a VW Bus. You know, since there's other ones in town. It would be a shame for you to be seen with the same car other folks are rolling in town.

lolllllllllll, honestly I have to agree, if you like a rim, go ahead and get it. It's your car, personalize it the way you want. There are a lot of people with F-body's out there, that doesn't mean you have to go out and buy a 1 off car. There are also going to be a lot of people SOMEWHERE that have the same rim as you, it doesn't mean that another F-body will have the same rim as you in their town.

To the OP, great rim choice for your car, it looks awesome and I hope you enjoy the hell out of them. Keep em' clean and there is no reason to have to change anytime soon!

Its really not a dumb comment and yea you did come off as a dick! That's my preference to be different and stand out from ever other fbody at car shows and on the road. I bought Weld Vektors cause they look amazing and no one has them.

Kinda Like you and your Yellow cobra, I don't think I have seen one like it. Its nice to look at different combos instead of the same thing over and over!

Most everyone who is into fbodies has seen a black trans am with black RTS wheels!

Love the look, really works great with the car.

You could always just get a nice set of street wheels with a custom offset. The fact that a lot of people are buying the RTS is just proof that Weld made a great looking/performing product.

I'm happy about my wheels, and I firmly believe I'll never see a set like them at least in the continental US unless somebody manages to find some off a person selling a bunch of old road race parts.

Dumbest reason not to buy a set of wheels comment award goes to you.
thats like saying you wont own a set of tt2 for your firebird because everyone on the internet has them. WRONG my car look incredible with a set on and never saw an f body with a set on as long as i had my car

Those wheels look nice with your car. The whole car looks great. Perfect stance and ride height. Now, you got me thinking about getting a set for my car. Btw, hows the weight on them in comparison to Draglites or Prostars?
