Weld S71 18x8 / 5x4.75 BP / 4.2in. BS Black Wheel (Medium Pad) - Non-Beadlock

If you're looking to give your 1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette a serious upgrade for street driving, drag racing, or autocross, consider the Weld S71 wheel. This 18x8 inch wheel is built with a forged billet center and cold-forged rims, then assembled using a unique welded process. It brings that classic Weld Racing look to your C3 Corvette while offering the flexibility needed for modern brake packages.

Weld designed the S71 with three different mounting pad heights, and this particular version features the medium pad. This design choice is crucial because it helps ensure clearance for a wide variety of brake systems, which is often a challenge when upgrading older performance cars. The wheel is finished in black and includes a valve stem and center cap, so you're getting a complete package right out of the box. It's constructed in Kansas City, Missouri, continuing Weld's tradition of American manufacturing.

This wheel is a non-beadlock design, making it suitable for a broader range of street and track applications. With a 5x4.75 inch bolt pattern and 4.2 inches of backspace, it's specifically sized to fit your 1968-1982 Corvette, offering a solid stance and improved handling characteristics.
