Ok so this is what I cam up with. And sorry if this is a repeat from a different thread. This is what I ended up with. They are Wheelsmith wheels. 17x8 smoothie. With a 30mm offset. They will custom build them for you. I have test fit them and they fit great. I just through a different cap on to get the look I am going for. Now I just need the caps to come in. And waiting for my bronco to get here. It is due any day now.

If I hadn't already got some Black Diamond spec black steelies for pretty cheap, I'd be all over your WheelSmith discovery. I see on their site that they will do offsets all the way up to like +58mm. That's the best news for me as I'd love to keep as close to stock spec. Not a fan of "poke". Believe I said in your other thread that I'm super excited to see your build because I know I'll like my current setup but I'll be envious of yours and not be able to leave well enough alone.

Love the look of these but worry about the lack of slots/holes for airflow to cool brakes.

I am not a fan of poke either. But I didn’t want them to be too flat either. So I went with the offset of the Sasquatch but with skinnier tires I found a great deal on some take off 285/70/17 tires which is a little wider than I wanted. But they were so cheap I went with them. I am really wanting to try 255/80/17. So probably go with them when the 285’s are worn out. If I don’t like them right off then I will just sell them and get my money back out and go with the 255’s

I get what you are saying. I will let you know how that goes.
I would doubt heat would be too bad unless you're racing it, or really getting after it. Broncos aren't smash gas, heavy braking entering corners vehicles. I'd be more worried in a sports car.

Very true. And the solid wheel is much easier to clean and won’t allow brake dust to come through and get the wheel dirty as fast.
