Factory Wheel Options

[Laminar]

I'm trying to figure out all of the factory wheel options. In the Tech Specs sheet, it lists quite a few options. The standard wheels are easy to find:

- Base, 16x7" bright polished silver-painted steel

- Big Bend, 17x7.5" ET55 Carbonized Gray-painted aluminum

- Black Diamond, 17x7.5" ET55 black gloss-painted black steel

- Outer Banks - 18x7.5" ET55 bright machined black high-gloss-painted aluminum

- Badlands - 17x8" ET55 machined Carbonzied Gray-painted aluminum

- Wildtrak/First Edition/Sasquatch - 17x8.5" ET30 black high-gloss-painted forged aluminum, with black beauty ring, beadlock-capable

Then there are two I haven't found (UPDATE: GOT 'EM!):

- Black Diamond, optional 17x7.5" ET55 Black High Gloss-Painted aluminum (thanks @dmo1028 )

- Badlands, optional 17x8" ET55 black high-gloss-painted forged aluminum carbonized beauty ring, beadlock-capable (thanks @Throwback )

Someone over on the Black Diamond thread was able to decode the possible 17” Black High Gloss - Painted Aluminum wheels last Week when the configurator was able to be played with. If I don’t go Sasquatch, I’ll definitely upgrade to these.

Nice! I’d like those if they weren’t all black.

Has anyone been able to identify those two optional wheels?

Nor sure if this would be the right thread to ask this question, but since it's about wheel size I'm going to ask anyway.

We keep hearing about 17" bead lock wheels but what we're not hearing is the actual size of those wheels. Are the factory bead locks 17x8, 17x8.5, 17x9 . The reason I bring this up is that 315/70R17 will run on an 17x8 wheel which let's face it means you'd need to replace the wheels if you wanted to run true 35's or move up to 37's with the factory 2" lift.

I point this out, because the 2 door bronco that has the 2" factory lift and 37x12.5 tires has upgraded the wheels to a method 105 bead lock instead of the factory bead locks shown with the 315/70R17.

The 2 door Bronco on 37" tires was a show car only with Raptor running gear, not to be confused with a production Bronco we can buy, as confirmed in this thread and post:

That 2 door Bronco is completely irrelevant IMO. It's not using Bronco suspension. I think we to kill the, "it's just a 2in lift and 37's".

Below is the 2-door suspension vs. a Ranger Raptor rear end. They used Ranger Raptor suspension for that prototype.

Looks like it will be cheaper just to powder coat the base Steelies. Wonder what’s the biggest tire base will accept before rub

17x8.5

At least for the Destination M/T2, the 35X12.5R17LT and 37x12.5R17LT both work on 8.5"-11" wheels.

Are these not the optional tires for the "forged" ones for the Badlands trim?

 

[Laminar]

I think that's it! The optional Badlands wheels have a "carbonized beauty ring." Thanks!!

Those look like the wheels on all of the sasquatched broncos

Not exactly, check em out side-by-side. They have the same sort of shape, but they aren't as pronounced. Use the colorizer on the Ford website and switch between 2 and 4 door.

I think they are basically the same general design except the ‘beauty ring’ is more of a grey color on the optional Badlands and a black color on the Snatchcrotches.

Edit; the spokes also look more plain/flat on the Badlands version

The two optional wheels seen on the Broncos on Display at Ford are Method 105's and Fifteen52 Turbomacs.

all the factory wheels suck, ford always makes them to narrow
