Looks much better but those painted flares are an eyesore.

Does it stop the car doors?
Matters how high the car opening a door. Honestly I'm waiting for a company to make ones like the ranger tremor

I do like the style, and design of those wheels. But for me black has played out. They would definitely by on my radar if they came in what is called "anthracite (dark gray)", or a silver color.

OK, I'm done with my little boy whining. :) That's a great looking Bronco Peter. Enjoy

Agreed
Tired of the blacked out wheels.I'm actually tired of the satin silver aluminum wheel look too.

I think I want chrome again. (just don't let me buy any parachute pants)

These wheels look really good. Disclosure, I hate the faux beadlock bolt look of most truck wheels these days. Beadlock ready bash rings like the OEMs are great, but pretend bolts or even dots to look like bolts, no. So these wheel really fit the bill for someone who wants a lighter wheel, especially one that is hub centric (and not made for a Taco).

My biggest question: gray to go with the Badlands grill or black to go with the bumpers and rock rails?

@Pbloom49, could you use the Bronco logo OEM center caps instead of the RTR ones if you had wanted?

Yes I ordered a leveling kit but it is not in. They also say that the stock lugs do not work they do. Just use a chrome socket. Also if you getting new tpms it is the lower MHZ ones
Question. Which leveling kit did you order? Also, does the front really sit 1" lower than the rear that you just want to raise the front for now? Wouldn't a 1" lift in the front make it higher than the rear?

Have you experienced a high pitch whistle coming from the front of the soft top? I have the OBX as well and when I hit 76mph I get an intermittent whistle from the passenger side, near the right corner. Wheels look great!!!

Yes with a Badlands either color will work. You can not. The bronco center caps are to small

No it is just about 1 inch lower when I get the kit I will send pics and measurements.

Yes not from the front though it is pass b / c pillar side. It is not to loud and honestly The entire top is quiet and I thought it would be. I've owned I've owned a few jeeps and refused to ever get a hard top so I was expecting wind noise. For me as long as I can not hear the noise with the head on or the radio at normal levels (talk radio) I personally think it is OK.

Overall the top is very quiet. But my whistle is louder than normal levels.

Too bad - was hoping since the bore is the same, but I guess the bore on the OEM wheels doesn't go all the way through / steps down.
