What’s up guys! I’ve been running wheel spacers for a minute while waiting to see what wheel options I wanted to go with. I finally decided on Battleborn’s Sierra wheel. Battleborn is a NV based company that flow forms aluminum to create your custom wheel in whatever options you want. I chose faux beadlocks for now and a 17x9 rim with 93.1 hubs and 0 offset. The accent rings are easily swappable for their beadlocks and can be ordered with beadlocks for no extra cost at time of purchase. I chose faux to have that accent color and protect the wheels from rock rash as I know the wheels will not remain this fresh for long with how I wheel.
I’m not a beadlock guy and have been wheeling for many years without them but I love how they have the option should I ever change my mind.
The raw aluminum was nice and they offer powder coating options as well.
I bought them raw and then took them to a local shop that is a wizard with coatings (powdercraftrocklin). They helped me decide on this awesome bronze with gold flakes and black accent rings. The result is killer! They do offer a discount through our Gold Country Bronco’s group and they have several options to choose from as far as wheels goes. Cheap to expensive. I’ll post up some pics once they are mounted. I love supporting American companies that take pride in their craft and these certainly fit the bill. It’s almost a shame that they will be punished on the rubicon and other rocky trails this year.

Center caps???
Soooo, funny you should ask. The center caps they provide don’t seem to work with the 93.1 hub size. I’m working on caps from somewhere else or seeing if they will start making them for the 93.1

Sure! The weight is similar to a Sasquatch wheel as these are pretty hefty and built for ultra running, jumping, etc. they run about 35-37 lbs per wheel with beadlocks. They have lighter options available too. I have the Sierra wheel from them.
Price was 2562 for five wheels with a custom bore of 93.1 for the Bronco (without discount) Looking back I’d actually go with a slightly larger bore to accommodate the center cap and then use a hub ring to get back that hub centric fit.
They offer their own powder coat option which I believe was about $100 per wheel?? Don’t quote me on that because I ended up using a local PC shop instead that had an insane color combo. My local shop price was 1300 for all five for the PC.

I can’t say their discount here cause I can’t promise it on their behalf but if you’re with our group (gold country broncos) on Fb. Just tell them that and trust me, it’s a nice discount.

I am going to call you a Mall Crawler if you put all terrains on those beadlocks. Even though those Falkens are one of my favorite tires.
Loool, do it! I don’t mind;) been running Falken A/T’s on the Rubicon for 3 years now and have no complaints. I don’t like M/T’s on my daily.
