Well to my surprise I found my wheel was cracked. I bought them brand new probable 4 1/2-5 years ago. Never in an accident and never hit a pot hole large enough to cause the damage. They have Toyo Mt 35x12.50x18 tires on them.
I was told Weld no longer makes the wheel! Not sure what to do as I do not want to buy 4 new wheels to match and I cant locate a used one.
Guess I'm S.O.L.?
wheel is a 18x8.5 chevy 6 lug with 5.62" back spacing
I have a link to a photobucket page but it wont let post it.

anyone have any suggestions? these wheel were expensive and can't believe they cracked on there own.
By the way they were bought in 2004 and the company I bought them from are no longer around. I do have the original receipt from that company though.

I am sorry to inform you that the company that made the Velociti wheel
(Weld Wheel Industries) went bankrupt in August of 2006. These wheels were discontinued by American Racing when they owned the company from 10/06 to 08/08. The new Weld Racing LLC does not carry any warranty from the previous 2 owners for any of the truck products.

Seems unfair that you decided to keep the Weld name and benefit from repeat customers do to the Weld name. So you guys have wiped your hands clean of any issues and warranties with the Evo line.
What do suggest I do then? These wheel are impossible to find new or used. Would you be able to help me locate one?

It is not the simple fact that we washed our hands of these products. For 2 years, August 2006 to November 2008 American Racing Wheels owned the Weld brand. During their ownership they discontinued ALL the Weld truck wheels. They even went as far as to sell all the equipment used to build these wheels. All remaining products were sold at liquidation prices and all wheels that could not be sold were scrapped for the aluminum value.
If there is any product available it would be found on e-bay or one of the on-line auction sites.
