Default 17" Weld RTS S71
I'm looking for pics of specifically 17" weld RTS S71 setups. 18s seem to be really popular but they are a bit on the large side for me as far as a 5 spoke design goes. Post em if you got em!

I think 18's look perfect on these cars (as well as 17's). I also think you'll be hard pressed to find many with 17" RTS's as most have gone 18. I love my 18x10.5 RTS's

I have 17s on mine. I didn't want a big rim on it so I could put more tire on it.

your car looks amazing, I assumed you used the part numbers listed by Weld or are they a custom offset?

Thanks! I bought them from Jim's Racing Tires and told him what I wanted to do and he ordered what I needed. I think they are just regular offset though.

I'll get some pics once the sun comes up a little better behind the shop, I've got 17's up front and 15's in the rear. Car isn't the prettiest, but I got a SMOKING deal on the wheels tires and rear end so I had to do it.

Not the best pictures, and the car obviously needs a paint job and a proper cowl hood. 295 55 r15 in the rear and 215 50 r17 up front. Koni str.t up front koni yellows out back, Stranos on all 4 corners.

Wondering this also. Specifically will the CTSV 4 piston brembo’s clear 17x9 with 6.8 BS RTS S71 with 5th gen camaro rotors.

Could you please give me your front and rear set up with the welds.

Your car just sold me on the weld wheels. Beautiful
