The alloy beauty ring can be misleading. Depending on vehicle color, lighting and picture quality. Figure I get some opinions as to what matches best or just paint it! And if paint is the way to go ... what do you guys have in mind ? Process, prep, texture ,,

Matches really well .. A better picture definitely would help decide. Ive only seen one grainy photo of this build to judge. Also would like to see a Carb Grey Bronco with these wheels

This build looks good with out a painted ring as well, But imagine all black like the WT ? Or Red ... btw I love this build ...

NO ,, This A51 Rig must have a paint job for the beauty rings! Or is it the photo quality? Only A51 with these wheels I have seen.

Love classic OJ white, This can work .. But would all black or all white beauty rings look better ,,,, probably

Painted white ring on the Filson build looks great ... Put them on the 2-door above and we have a winner ... or tacky lol ?

Surprisingly alloy beauty rings look really good on Cactus Grey ... Ive mostly seen the all black wheels on most photos of CG

All Black! This looks way better then expected. Seems nobody likes their Bronco in black. Paint the rings black and this rig is even more aggressive!

AMB beauty ring stands out for sure .. Contrast on full display, Thoughts on this combo ?

One of the bigger reasons I chose the WT is for the black beauty ring
Stupid I know but I’m just not a fan of Sasquatch alloy ring...

I'm not a big fan of color matched accessories on wheels.

If I paint them it'll be black.

The white is a good look as well but it would really depend on the color of the truck.

I'll probably not paint them however and will probably go with aftermarket wheels and save the stock one's.

Raw aluminum is the best way to go as the first rock (curb for the Mall Crawlers) that scrubs it will make a mess out of any other finish. ;)

If I go with a neutral exterior, I'm planning to get them powdered an accent color, yes.

It all depends on how you plan on using your Bronco....If you plan to offroad, take a look at the test mules....most of the black rings are pretty jacked. The ring is designed to take the abuse, when painted/powder coated this abuse will be a lot more obvious.

Hard to do that much damage to my anodized red beauty rings driving around the mall.

Well unless they have some seriously tall curbs.

I hate the silver ring! I was going to paint them but I am leaning toward just getting aftermarket wheels.now.

I will probably plasti-dip mine this way it can be removed and redone if it gets to much curb rash. Either black or maybe body color.

Paint will look like hell in a couple years if you use it. I’m thinking on picking up a set of the wild track ones when they come available.

I'll be getting the OJ special in a 2 door Badlands. I'm getting the free wheels that come with it and the 33s. I do believe I'll be powder coating them bronze. I wanna do small things that are money savers first!
