same guy made them Rago its just he sold the Weld Wheel name to American Racing Equipment then started his own company yet again but had to call it Greg Weld Inc. and has since passed on about 9 months ago so company is in limbo yet again and then American Racing sold the weld brand so both are in limbo yet again.

And quality wise I would say they are the same I like the design better to these wheels than the Rodlites JUST AN OPINION LOL

Good stuff to know Limey. Thanks! Hopefully someone picks up the Weld brand. Lot of people love the Draglites. Rolling Eyes

I'd hate to resort to those one piece Summit knock-offs if I end up going that route for wheels.

I remember seeing something about the Greg Weld Inc. being owned by (obviously) Mr. Weld himself & the two different companies thing, but nothing was ever said why or how Weld racing was sold off or who bought it. I guess it makes sense that American Racing owned the company because lately their wheel prices have went through the roof just like Torq Thrusts.

from the digging I have uncovered the Weld Wheel name was sold back to a guy Named Kyle Fickler , and is operated under the Name Weld Wheel L.L.C.

wheel pics are fella tell me what you think and be honest

Rago · by Rago on Thu Feb 11, 2010 2:50 pm

Honestly the front tires are Waaayyyy too short! The wheels themselves are fine, but I don't care for the front tires. You need to go up in height & possibly drop the front to pull that off. Rears look fine though.
