17x5 RT-S Wheel 5x4.5 2.2 BS

The WELD Racing 17x5 RT-S Wheel with 5x4.5 bolt pattern and 2.2-inch backspace delivers precision engineering for high-performance off-road and motorsport applications. Featuring a black anodized and polished finish, this single-piece aluminum wheel combines lightweight construction with the durability required for serious track, competition, and recreational driving. The RT-S designation positions this as a racing-duty wheel optimized for vehicles demanding exacting fitment tolerances and load-bearing reliability.

Weighing 23.75 pounds per wheel, the 17-inch diameter and 5-inch width provide a balanced platform for tire selection across street and competition applications. The 5x4.5-inch bolt pattern accommodates vehicles engineered to this specification, while the 2.2-inch backspace (measured from the wheel centerline to the mounting surface) ensures proper brake clearance and suspension geometry without modification. High-pad construction—characteristic of WELD Racing's manufacturing—enhances structural integrity under lateral load and cornering stress. The combination of black anodized and polished surfaces offers both aesthetic versatility and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

This wheel suits owners of late-model vehicles in the 5x4.5 bolt circle—particularly those pursuing off-road driving, autocross competition, track events, or high-performance street use where OEM wheel specifications need replacement with competition-grade hardware. Buyers sourcing WELD Racing wheels for sale should verify their vehicle's brake offset clearance and suspension geometry against the 2.2-inch backspace specification. The RT-S model represents mid-range diameter and width, balancing tire sidewall support with nimble handling characteristics.

WELD Racing maintains its position as a manufacturer of competition-grade wheels for oval track, road course, and off-road motorsports. The 17x5 RT-S wheel specifications—bolt pattern, backspace, and weight—reflect the precision tolerances expected in this segment. Buyers comparing WELD Racing wheel options should reference OEM fitment guides and suspension geometry data to confirm this model's compatibility before purchase.
