Anyone make white steel wheels that look like the BD ones?

[Rick Astley]

All of that smart assery is correct,
until you look for steel wheels that have close to Bronco factory specs.
I haven't found them, unless you find 4.5" backspacing OK for the Bronco.
5.75, maybe.

I'd gladly enjoy a show of force of your Googlery prowess that turns up dozens of options for steelies that are "white" and of a wagon wheel or other classic design AND fit closely to the Broncos factory specs.
Hell, I'd even accept black or silver wheels as far as that goes. Some soft 8's, D's or wagon wheels will suffice.

per tiresize.com wheel calculator.
Using what I can gather from the Stig shots of the wheels and assuming the Base wheel is the same Ranger wheel, which has been stated elswhere.

16 x 7 = 55mm offset = 6.17" Backspace (Base)
17&18 x 7.5 = 55mm = 6.42" backspace (BB, BD & OBX)
17 x 8 = 55mm offset = 6.67" backspace (Badlands)
17 x 8.5 = 30mm off = 5.93" backspace (Squatch)

I cede your point entirely, it is actually impossible to find a modern steelie sized for a Bronco Sasquatch perfectly.

Disclaimer: you win if and only if no company made custom wheels for you at barely an increase in cost over the cheap-as-can-be steel wheel prices then you win this by eleventy bajillion percent.

Wow, made right here in the US of A as well! Nice!

FWIW, I cheated. You see, once I wanted a custom set of steel wheels made for my Thunderbird based on some pretty obscene specifications due to a static 3" drop and some wide ass tires while retaining the factory skirts so I did about 5 minutes of googlemalizing in the internet tunnels and found them. Had a custom set on my door step within a month. Assume production times now are longer.

I used the 2021 Ranger bolt pattern and found these on my first search.

Looks like they have great options, but they are all 0 offset. Im worried that's too much poke for the standard flares. If not, i may have found the place to get my wheels from.

According to the calculator at tiresize.com, using the same 315/70-17 tire, zero offset wheels will poke out 1.18" farther than Squatch. Some folks may like that look, but they'll sling shit everywhere.

This is why I am trying to stick CLOSE to factory spec. The Squatch already requires those bookshelf looking flares. I have zero desire to push that tire out there even farther.

My gut says wait on the Heritage. Swap wheels with it. Those spy shots we saw. I think it's wheels were white with paint on them. Also powder coating is efficient!!

You beat me to it!

The spy photos definitely had white steelies on them. Four slot old school style.

Where was that pic? Can somebody find it?

Found it!

Yes!!!
You can see at the edge of the rim that it was white and somebody threw a quick coat of flat black on them as camo.

Looking at the web, they are thick like an aluminum wheel though... centercap resembles the 52 ones as well... or maybe I’m seeing it wrong

 

[shoelessjoe]

Well, I guess I already asked the question in the title, but.....

Does anyone make white steelies that look like the BD ones?

Would it be easier to get them powder coated? I’m not too familiar with the cost of the process.

Yep. You are correct. That’s a great idea. Wonder how much Ford will want for 5 of them?

White steelies are so sweet. Imagine these on a Rapid Red 2-door.

Just find something like this in a 6x139.7 bolt pattern.

Why does this wheel have 15 round cut out's and one elongated cut out?

 

[Erock]

Valve stem?

 

[skiptheroad]

Valve stem?

Maybe, I'm not sure. The valve stem appears to be just under the elongated hole but have no idea if they are related.

They remove the weight of the steel there by elongating the hole directly above the valve stem so as to balance the valve stem weight.

I've been photoshopping white wheels on 21 bronco 2 doors for weeks (terribly.. see avatar) and I am SO glad that heritage has them. I think a great option is to option for the beadlock wheels (non squatch) and use those for offroading. Then order a set of these for those days you wanna look cute.
