One of the things that blows us away at SEMA every year is the literal and figurative size of the wheel industry. In particular are the massive wheels that are being used on today’s lifted heavy duty trucks. Weld Racing also saw this and that’s why they have reentered that marketplace, teaming with SOTA Offroad to bring these wheels to market. Staying true to their company’s roots, these are a very high quality forged wheel available in 20, 22, and 24 inch diameters with available widths of 12 and 14 inches. Bolt patterns? 5,6, and eight lug designs are offered.

What’s really cool is that the well known Cheyenne and Renegade designs are back and longtime fans of the brand had been hounding the company for ages about whether they would ever see those two wheel designs being produced by Weld again. Here’s their answer! The other two available styles are named Falkata and Slingblade. We’ve got some examples of the wheels in the photos below and we think that they look sweet.

Here’s the full story about Weld XT straight from the source!
