So, I’ve just gone with stock wheels my whole life. I see a lot of threads commenting about white steelies on the bronco. Just curious If you folks are planning to buy a trim with the steel wheels and have them painted, or planning an aftermarket purchase? I really like the white steelies look, but don’t really know what the options are.

I'm thinking that I'll need to buy the steelies. The OEM wheels might be a bit too narrow for the tires that I want. And I want dog dish hubcaps.

Find an old school drag race shop, they add a section (cut and add a band) to original steel wheels - race ready.
Dog dish is cool, 80's Mopar vented aluminum Police Special are literately cool (hubcaps will hold a lot of heat in desert).
Plastic Dip spray is really going K-Mart Kustom, but it peels off and is a great way to try color on wheels without getting stuck with something that you are sick of in a week.

I'm hoping Quadratec jumps in on the Bronco and offers these that are available for the Wrangler. Style like a steel wheel but made of aluminum.

That's awesome! I love the look of steelies but the weight savings would be nice.

I hope they do too. If I go Antimatter Blue I'd like to get these.

Ive been looking at the Fifteen52 Analogs which are steel-looking aluminum but they don't come in white. I'll get them in black if I choose Cactus Grey.

Quadratec is strictly Jeep parts. That's why I said I'm hoping they jump on board with the Bronco. I doubt they will though.

They are manufactured for Quadratec. So we would have to find the manufacturer and find out if they make them under a different name with the correct bolt pattern.

I'll probably go with a poverty spray bomb repaint of the Base steel rims , to match the MIC top.
And some 255/85R16 (33") tires.

That's if there isn't a Mansquatch option.

Have you heard the news? Mansquatch is happening.
