They are homage dogdishes to the Ford Ranger "poverty" caps. (the common term for them, not mine)

From zooming in on the pics provided above, they appear to be press-on to the lugs themselves as there's no provision on the BD wheel

I have the base steelies and I need me some poverty caps cuz I’m one of the poors! Gimme that part number!

So you are claiming that in one trip soo many people cut you off that somehow you ruined your rotors and you think that you are a good driver or your durango are of a high quality? The math does not add up with all due respect. Either you are a bad driver or your durango stinks. or both. Please Tell us all how that happened in one trip.

There is no "math" here. I told you exactly what happened. I never claimed the Durango is "high quality." I’m saying Ford is no better. As for my driving skills, I’ll not be judged by a dude who paints his toenails.

Love it. Would love to know more about the caps. As well as how they mounted that roof rack.

Checked back on original post on YouTube. Owner states that they a F150 caps that he modified to fit. Said he “Heat Formed” them. F150 bolt pattern is 6x135. Slightly off from Ranger and Bronco. Maybe he softened the material and pushed them on and let cool.

I would like the painted white modular top with white powder coated steelies when I get my 4dr eruption green badsquatch for that old school look. But right now I would just be happy to have my bronco. Totalled my f150 2 years ago and have been without a ride since.

I kind of thought they might be f150. Only 4mm spread over 6 bolts. Should be pretty easy. I think I will do that with my black diamond wheels. I am still trying to decide which tires to put which rims. I have 285/70/17 and 265/70/17.

If you can find the link to that YouTube, post it on here. I have looked for it and can’t find it. I would like to watch it.

I wish it was a video. It’s a blog post on the TFLNow community tab. I had to sift through the comments for info. Here is a screen share on how to get to it. I’ll post a link if I can figure that out.

Yep exactly. I will have to do some research on them. I have a set of black diamond wheels and like the look. But the bronco is 6 lug and old rangers were 5 lug and used a clip rig. I had these ranger caps mounted on my LS swapped Volvo. But this cap is a little different. But still looks to be for a 5 lug.

Amazing! I have a weakness for Volvo wagons since i have my v70r. Love it!

Found these but not sure about offsets:

Love those MTs but i think the offset is gonna cause too much poke - was wondering about these but the bolt pattern may not work - loved these on my old Dakota

The Bolt circle (pattern) on theses are 6 on 4.5 so they will not work but they are cool looking.

Sometimes I think both of these wheels are never coming. The Black Rhinos are looking like spring. The Fifteen52s say they have been in LA Harbor for eight months.

Beware of a couple things on these wheels. The offset on the Black Rhinos is a lot. -12. At least an extra inch of poke.

The Fifteen52s have a nice +12mm offset which is just about what you'd want with bigger tires. The Sas wheels are +33 and the stock badlands are +55. -for reference.

The other pain is if you get big tires, watch what the recommended rim width is. I have some big tires waiting for a minimum 9.5" wide rim and while I love the look of both of these wheels, neither is really going to work for me.

I'm currently considering having something painted white. But I'm not in love with any solution yet.

Saw this today on TFLNow's Community Tab. Owner didn't mention any specific details of the setup but I really like it.

Same here, it's my favorite so far. We need details!
