Id like to see how you got the fake locking hub in there, did your smoothie have a larget hole that the stock steelie?
The center bore of the wheels is 4.25”. And I found these short cap for trailer wheels. And then I drilled them out and added the 6 screws, and the oem 70ties locking knobs.

ooo tricky - do you have a pic of the wheel on the hub with no cap?
lucky you got the correct match to cap diameter to hole diameter
the existing steelie hole smashes right up against the hub sides
which makes it impossible to add a cap

Sorry I don’t have that picture. The hub bore on the bronco is 93.1mm and the hub bore on my wheels are 108mm. So I had enough room to add the caps.

Sorry, but I think Ford got it right with the Heritage Edition wheels. They look great and are the easiest wheels to clean that I have ever owned. Of all the HE features, the wheels get the most compliments.

There, it’s settled. 😎

Still waiting on something like this in the higher offset range. American Racing was showing something but when I wrote to them in April 2024 this is what they said
"Thank you for reaching out to us here at American Racing. We should have a few more designs in the pipeline but nothing has been confirmed yet."
Hit them up!

Where is the rest of this beauty? Excellent job on the pinstriping. Is that a Bronco Sport badge?

take a look at how the green bronco painted the grill - maybe consider painting the surround of your grill blue -
Hard pass. I like it the way it is. Modern HE vs. Tribute. Both are great.

I’m waiting to see someone attempt to do a mock stainless or brushed aluminum grill (not sure what the 1st gen had. But if it had chrome wheel covers it usually had a silver grille (if memory serves).

That bronco looks like the 1950s version of the back to the future Delorean
