    Hi,
    I just picked up a '02 Taco Extra Cab and she came with this set up, Weld Racing on Kumho Road Venture A/T 265 70R 16. My plans are to do some light off road (newbie) while also being my DD.
    Does anyone have any off road experience with this rim or any Weld Racing rim for that matter? I want to make sure they hold up to the elements and low tire pressure on the trails.
    I did the Google thing I know that the company went out of business, which is another concern I have.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

    I don't know much about Welds but those look beefy! I wouldn't worry about them offroad, and in terms of airing down just don't go below 15 or something

    Weld Racing wheels are some of the best in the business. The set I had were forged aluminum. Way stronger then cast aluminum or steel wheels for that matter. Can't bend them back into shape if you do manage to bend them somehow. Loved mine, sold with the first gen they were on, should've keep them.

    Welds are some quality wheels. You shouldnt have any issues.

    Your's look forged! Far better than cheaper cast ones.

    Thanks guys - I'm keeping them for now. I'll run the new set of tires until they wear out - then figure out if I want bigger wheels or different ones.
