looks great! I was thinking about the same wheel/tire setup for my a51. Question, have you noticed any loss in acceleration or overall handling when you swap your old tires? I assume it's a much heavier setup now. Do you know how much does the wheel weigh right now?

The wheels are 32lbs and the tires are 70 lbs. I'm not sure what stock weighs. I haven't noticed a loss in power or a change in handling. But the gas mileage SUCKS...
I'm around 2000 miles and am averaging about 15 mpg.

I'm coming from a Durango SRT. Probably one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. That thing with a 6.4L V8 is a like a Prius with gas compared to the Bronco.

I love Cactus Grey, suspifically on the Bronco. I think the black of the tops, fenders and door handles help enhance the color.

I'm not a fan of the geenish tint that sometimes comes out. Mainly in pics. I feel like the stealth ppf helps lock in the shades that I like.

Not sure if that helps but check my Instagram and you'll more pics in different lighting.
just checked out your ig and yeah it looks like it holds onto the less green color I like. Was hoping it would block some of the UV light that causes that blue/green flop and I’m thinking that may be true

gotcha I was wondering if you had worked something out with the dealer.
I wish... The dealership was like a lost puppy lol. I offered them the business to order the rims and tires and arrange for my tint/wrap. They just couldn't put 1 foot in front of the other.

It literally took them an hour to mount/balance the first tire and then 3 techs came into the sales floor basically asking me if they should can stop because the wheels are too hard to work with 😆

did you get the pics of the titanium wheel yet?
Yes. These are pics taken at dusk. I can maybe try to get some bright daylight pics tomorrow.

Titanium next to CG looks amazing. Especially with the stealth wrap. These also don't have the black bolts installed which I think would make it look even better.

I tried to get creative to the line it up.

wow this is scary I have same build but, 2dr also . I placed my order 1 year later to the day because I wanted a 2nd year ( let them work out the bugs). So if your now a 2nd year model what am I gonna be :cry: :cry: :cry:
Reserved July 2020. Was a 2 dr 2.3 I4 with manual Black Diamond in Cyber Orange. 3/5/2021 notified that order was placed. July 2021 test drove a four dr Cyber Orange and hated the color. It's yellow! Changed color to Antimatter Blue. 8/2021 production stops due to parts supply and MIC hard tops. Ford will move my order to the 2022 My. October 2021, updated 22MY chose Eruption Green and Sasquatch Package.....

AND THE WAIT CONTINUES.... LOL

I'm definitely getting the wheels for my 2 door Area 51, but man this makes the color choice so hard.... All 3 look pretty good, just haven't seen many titanium on A51 yet..

Oooh A51.... There's a guy here in town with one. 4dr hardtop. If it were me I'd go Titanium with color. But I think you'll be happy with any of the colors in that wheel.

Pretty sad that the communication from Ford hasnt improved since this all started.

Also, I agree with you on cyber orange. I like the color but it's not orange

No I don't. Do you have your Bronco yet. I would go to a local tire shop and just hold a bronze rim next to it.

I would say the icon bronze is on the darker side.
