I generally don't like eagle because they deliberately try and copy Weld designs, but just come out looking like a half retarded cousin.

Now, take that with a grain of salt coming from me. I am extra picky about tires and wheels as I think they can make or break the look of a vehicle. I am also very biased towards Welds quality, so when I see a cheesy copy cat, I'm not impressed.

Tires sound good though.

That's why I choose the AE. I originally picked out the Weld Velocitis, until I saw the price. How can you tell the difference?

i think those would look cool. id put something like that on my truck but ive got a dually. and i HATE directional wheels

i was thinking the same thing. those wheels are very velociti-ish. a 17" velociti will run at least $3-400 dollars per wheel.

At least they are made right here in the good ole' USA!!

rbuchana

More like $500

Do you guys think it will look good?
What about rubbing?
What do you think about a leveling kit to go with the new skins?

I'm sure I'll need fender flares.

derek840378

yes
yes they will
definately do it. the stock wheels will work, but the AE's will are gonna have more backspace.

The real thing...

Copy Cat...


I've seen many different AE copy cats up close, and they look cheap compared to the real thing Weld makes.

blackdiesel

little bit of engraving and a different center cap is all thats different. all the rest looks the same

Here's a decent example of the difference. To some people, looks aren't important, or they have never paid enough attention to relize that they are copy cat designs meant to look like something of much better quality.

RJF

Like I said, until you actually see them in person, you don't really relize the difference.

blackdiesel

in your latest post, i like the eagles better. and im sure theres a noticable difference if you see them in person like you said.

RJF

eagle added a beadlock ring to that wheel to make it look like Weld's rock crusher line.
