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.

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 :ROFLMAO:

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

Fuel Assault 17" wheels, BFGoodrich KM3's 37x12.5x17, with roughly a 2.25 lift (I've got a HOSS 3.0 Wildtrak and so we are piecing together the lift keeping everything within factory specs). First picture is with Wildtrack 35s with lift (makes those 35's look tiny!!!), second picture is with lift and new wheels and tires...

What are the details on your lift? Any rubbing?
