Is there any chance the ball could pop out from vibration? I found these but they have a strap on them so I thought about attaching them to the tire so I don't have to worry about loosing a ball while I'm driving around.

All kidding a side, do you have a link to the black ones you ordered?

I tested the 2" colorful super ball on a 450 mile road trip, then a week at the beach, followed by another 450 mile return trip. The super balls didn't budge.

No strap needed

I really really want these wheels BUT can't pull the trigger at -8 offset.

GRRRRRRR!

Same.
I really wish they would've went with at least a +0 offset.

I like the Volks, but at over $850 a piece that's a hard 'no' for the time being.

$850 for Japanese forged wheels is a really good price actually. Most forged wheels start at over $1k each.
The forged will also weigh less than 20lbs. vs. 35+lbs. for cast or stock. It's a significant weight savings that could help with on-road handling/braking. Less rotational mass for sure.

Most of the wheels you see posted here are cast and made in China. Yes, they pass all the regulations and build specs - I won't say they're not good wheels.

I might go for something similar to the Volk TE37XT, but in my own custom design.
I deal with Litespeed Racing out of California. No, they're not going to be cheap LOL! But I like unique looks and my own design. I have a set on my 911 and my wife's X3.

I'm aware of what most aftermarket wheels are and where they're made (China & Taiwan the most common).

The Bronco (when ever I get it) will be my daily all-arounder (I ride a motorcycle, so daily isn't the best description for the warmer weather months), so I would like to get a lighter wheel with decent offset, isn't a pain in the butt to clean, and won't put me in the poor house.

It's a lot to ask and compromises will need to be made. I have plenty of time to shop and look around, but Titan 7's are my favorite forged wheel at the moment. I just have to decide if I want to deal with a -8 offset in trade of getting the weight range I'd love to hit.

Can’t remember if I shared mine in here. 17x9 Fuel Zephyr wheels in matte bronze with a -12mm offset. Tires are BFG KM3s 37x12.5r17 MTs. Most people would probably be better off with the +1mm offset though.

I hated the thought of the -8 offset. I wanted No poke but the Titan 7’s were the only wheels I loved. Now that they are on I love them. No regrets!!

Those look a lot better than the factory beauty rings! How do you like the trek top?

Totally changes the look of that Bronco....it's subtle but effective
