Hello All!,

I think we covered this on the old site, but I really like these wheels and forgot where I can get them. I believe they were called Welds. They are in the GS picture gallery under GSSide and GS2. Let me know if you know which these are or if you can get me some more pics.

Thank you,

Mike

Can you get them in chrome?

Looking for 18x8.5 and 18x10.

Planning on buying TEINS....Will that work out with a 275 or 295 in the rear?

Default the WEDS

those are the WEDS Farmas.

Bita has them on his gs4. they are 18*8.5 and 9.5R. he bought them from Rodney(MAS wheel). he uses 235and 265 nittos.

but you can go for 245/275 tire combo.

Rodney is in San Fran, CA . try under FAQ for his number. Rodney is a cool guy. tell him will from LA send you.

Thank you Will and QBranchCars! I do appreciate it!

By any chance, are those a multi-peice wheel?

Yeah I have the WEDS Farmas DP-V11 and I got them from Rodney, and they look cool.

NOTE though - he didn't include centering rings, and a local high end balancing shop said I needed them. They eventually found some 73mm rings that fit, and I got it high speed balanced.

Also, my advice also is to get 245/40/18 and 275/35/18s instead of the 235/265 combo Rodney normally uses.

One more thing - one of my front Nittos has a bad flat spot on it. Don't know if that's common, but it means I can't get a perfectly smooth ride like I had on my stock 17s/Potenzas. It's much better since I had the rings/balance done though.

For the price, it's a great deal though. And I think they're only 1 piece wheels, that are designed to look like 2/3 piece with the fake bolts around the inside of the lip.

Here's the car with my wheels/tires:
