What aftermarket wheels for 2021+ Bronco do you want?

[DannyBoy83]

I own a tire shop. Here's my two cents on wheels. First of all, for an off road vehicle like a Jeep, Tacoma, Bronco etc the height of the tire should be at least twice as tall as the wheel. So if you're gonna run 35s, go with a 17 inch wheel (not 18s and absolutely not 20s). Run low profile tires and you'll lose all trail cred. On my 06 Rubicon I run 33 inch tall tires with 15 inch wheels. The look is rugged and when you air down the tall sidewalls give you amazing grip and comfort over the bumps.

As mentioned above, Method Racing makes a good wheel as does Black Rhino, Fuel, Moto Metal, KMC, TIS, etc.

The wheel industry is somewhat monopolized. Over the past couple years Wheel Pros has purchased their two major competitors MHT and TSW. They now own about 40 different major wheel brands. As far as which are better, stronger etc it's difficult to say. Most name brands are prob manufactured in the same factories (China) so there are little difference as far as quality goes. I would say tho that you do want to get a name brand wheel. We've had customers bring in cheap wheels that are knock off brands and sometimes they are egg shaped and therefore tires cannot be properly balanced.

There's my two cents for now. Hope it helped somebody.

What I've learned from wheel shopping so far is 95% of the options are butt ugly and half of the remaining 5% has a less than optimal offset. This will not be an easy search.

This is what I've concluded as well. RTR with +30 is the only thing I'm finding right now. Hope some wheel manufacturers get with the program.

But seriously these are the wheels I have loved since childhood and they are the only ones I will ever spend extra money on. If the have to be 17s so be it(ugh) but I've got a couple old toothbrushes and a bottle Eagle One mag cleaner ready to go. I used to scrub the wheels on my dads Econoline every month or so for about 15 years till it met its end. Wished i had saved those wheels when it went to the junker though.

pretty close

What about a baby moon disc in the center of the BD Steelies? Maybe a body colored disc or white or ??

You can get those Bilton just about any size and offset also Wheel vintiques
summit, etc.

these are sweet!!!

Talked to American Racing
And they said they aren’t making them in a 17 anymore, and Dont plan on bringing them back, even for the Bronco
We need to get someone higher up to listen!

Ok so, basically it personal preference. I have zero offset wheels on my 2020 ranger. It looks awesome, they improved track width and cornering/ handling even with the bigger tires and lift. Did I have to cut a few things like the crash bars front and back? Yeah... No biggie. But for people saying they are going to stick out sooo far because the Sasquatch is only a 30mm offset.... This pic of a squatched out one on 35's shows the tires still sit a good bit under the flares. 0 offset would mearly bring them to match the flare width. And I'll be proving this day one that my bronco gets here. Lol

Agreed!
Or..... you keep the Squatch wheels, and get the stock flares. Get the same effect
It’s all about stance and looks to me mostly and some performance!

What about solving for that with spacers?
If they only offer something with a positive offset, just use spacers to fill in as you need and maybe a little extra

+ I am sure you can find steel wheels with a Negative offset - Negative looks better on a fatter tire....

These pictures summit up for me, I hate the flat rim look of positive fit, I have to have at least some dish!!!

I like the RTR wheel

But definitely something with big enough holes for a lift mate

 

[71to21-2DR]

I think I’m gonna go with this look
Little bit of retro going on, but modern machined with a little black.
Perfect with Velocity Blue!

pretty close

Ohh yeah!!!

May roll dice on zero offset...Method model 702 in bronze on 2dr base CG...

Mounted with (a terrible smartphone photoshop) what i _was_ thinking for tires, nitto trail grapplers...but I'm reading about road noise (nitto TG supposed to be better than average among MT-type?). Might chicken out and go back to AT...will be very little wet driving but lots of rocks and mountain/hill climbing...

Thoughts?

I am debating on the wheel color, but I am leaning towards the Fuel Rebel 6 Wheels in either Matte Black (maybe get the beadlock painted in Area 51 to match my Bronco) or get them in Bronze to have a contrasting color....not sure but I love the look of these wheels with this F-150. Anyone agree? Part of me is really leaning towards the bronze wheels...I have some ideas and think it would look great with Area 51.

I don’t think bronze wheels will look good with Cactus Grey.

If I can't find a set of white steelies with chrome center hubcap, then I will most likely go with these... Black Rhino Axle

I've been tracking toward those too.

Some cheap wheels in this here thread. Coming from Japanese cars, where forged aftermarket wheels start at $600 each, I’m surprised to see wheels that cost less than the tire that’s mounted on it.
