Default Help identify this rim?

Has anyone seen these rims before? Does anyone have any info on them? Price? Quality? Etc.? They have the name "Weld" and "Forged" and "USA" stamped onto the outer rim. Chrome finish. Thanks in advance all.

They are Weld wheels. Weld generally makes high quality wheels but I know they were having some financial problems a while back. Their EVO wheels came standard with a 5 year chrome finish warranty - best I could find.

Weld was actually taken over in 2008 by some other company. Do a Google on WELD EVO AXIS and you will find places that may still have this wheel available and read about their takeover.

The 2 sets of Weld wheels my boss bought had the chrome come off in less than 1 year.
