Mickey Thompson Introduces Slot Mag Wheels!

[danno4x4]

Hey all,

I just watched a recent YouTube video from GenRight Off-Road, and Mickey Thompson gave an exciting sneak peek of their upcoming wheel designs! One standout is the new Canyon wheel, which will be available in polished aluminum and bronze faux-beadlock options, specifically in the 6G Bronco 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern.

I know many of us have been waiting for a company to bring back that classic Ansen/Indy-style slot mag wheel that works with our Broncos, and it looks like Mickey Thompson has stepped up to the plate!

Personally, I’m looking to complete the look of my Race Red Heritage 2-Door Bronco with a set of polished aluminum Canyon 17x9 wheels with a 0 offset.

What do you all think? Who else is interested in Mickey Thompson's new wheels for their Broncos? Which would you choose—polished aluminum or bronze?

Can you post up the YouTube link? I'd be interested depending on the offset and cost.

Looks like it will be 0 offset and around $300.

Here is the link to the video:



The main subject of the video is tires, but the sneak peak on the wheels starts at about 57.00 minute mark.

The video doesn't specifically cover cost and backspacing, but I have reached out to Mickey Thompson and they have indicated they plan to offer the 17x9, 6X5.5 in two offsets, 0-offset and -12

Some additional internet sleuthing found https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtw-226100423 which appear to be about $285ish per wheel.

Ah bummer, I am looking for the higher offset!

I could be in the market for some "jelly bean" wheels if they were true beadlocks.

Woohoo, just in time as I was looking at steelies that would work with hub caps I have.
Personally I like the polished aluminum slots.

Seems like they had you in mind Jim. The polished option would really complete your Stroppe Baja Bronco look!

Thanks! That's a 1.69291" poke from the sasquatch +30 offset.

Also known as... Just about perfect.

Hard choice between these in polished or a 951MC from Raceline.
-12 for the win on either, even more preferred for that old school deeper dish look.

One of the questions asked during the video was “is Mickey Thompson going to be offering real bead lock wheels” (timestamp 1 hour 20 seconds)the answer was “I guess you’ll have to go to the SEMA show or follow our social media”

So you might be in luck.

I’m going to SEMA this year so I’ll share what I hear!

I just hand mounted a set of big tires on my beadlocks this past weekend for my crawler TJ (4 hours or work in the garage) so I’m beadlocked out for a while. Happy to let the tire machine do the job for the Bronco

You did that 4 hours?? That job would take me all weekend and at least a case of beer

Close, but still not quite right..

I realize that wheels with lots of open space into the wheel well and rotor/caliper is more current wheel design, but those "Slots " are just way to big for my tastes, makes the wheel look more like a spoked design than a slotted mag.
