Overall Assessment

Customers found the product to be generally satisfactory, but there are a few concerns. Notably, many praised its solid construction and aesthetics, while some noted that the wheels mount and fit well, improving their vehicle's look, particularly vintage models like the '38 Ford truck. However, there were complaints about less-than-ideal workmanship, indicated by prominent hoop weld lines and possible grinder marks. Despite these flaws, customers still noted that given their pricing, the wheels offer decent value – a fair and functional option when original wheels are hard to find. Yet, they fell short in replicating the exact specifications of originals, affecting the track width.

The Wheel could use some blending on the weld on the hoop itself.

Since these are the only "40 style Ford" wheels available with a single 5x5.5 bolt pattern I decided to give them a try because nice original wheels are hard to find. First off Wheel Smith makes a very poor quality wheel, terrible welds and very deep grinder gouge marks on every wheel where someone attempted to sand the weld seam on the hoop. The backspacing is also 3/4" less than the original wheels which extends the track width by 1.5". Overall these wheels are not useable as an alternative to original wheels.
