I like mine. I missed a set of free ones. I want to try powder coating a set a different color. But want to keep mine in case I don’t like the results.
I don't hate them. But Everglades wheels and 315/70r/17 look sexy.

Advertise the wheels over in the Ranger Forum and see if you get a bite. Outside of that there's plenty of wheels listed on FB for SC but seems everyone here is really proud of them so advertise them for cheap just to get rid of them.

The running boards I would think as a different story, those I'd advertise here with shipping not included and see what responses you get.
This is a Great Idea.

The OBX wheel is one of the best looking OEM wheels out there and would definitely dress up any 5G or 6G Ranger especially an XL or XLT.

I swapped out my Base’s steelies for a OBX set as a quick upgrade 2 yrs ago.
When I redo the Bronco wheels, the OBX set will probably get swapped to a planned future Ranger purchase.

Just occurred to me that the 6x139.7 aka 6x5.5 wheels on Broncos and Rangers will also work on Chevy/GMC 1500 so we got that as a potential market for Bronco take-offs

I forgot them. If only Ford would get with the program and change the F150‘s bolt pattern to join the party

Another good idea for the OP and others in the same boat.

May help me if I want to off load my Steelies

Scrap alumunum is running 15-20 cents a pound. So, 4 to 5 bucks a wheel.
I have a machine shop, they just took my chips and scrap aluminum away yesterday. $.64/lb for aluminum solids, $.42/lb for 6061 aluminum chips, and $.37/lb for mixed aluminum chips. Interesting to me is they gave me $.53/lb for soda cans as we had saved a bin of them. I am in Western Washington, so maybe the rates are higher here. These are the prices they paid me, so the scrap guys took their cut off before my payout.

Where you located? I'll buy the wheels from you at a fair price, certainly more than scrap.

Good luck! I can't even sell my Badlands wheels and KO2s at bargain price. The majority must be upgrading to 35s+ immediately.
Where are you located and how much for the Badlands wheels and tires?

Back in th' day ('97), my old man bought a sweet Z-71 and after a couple months, decided to upgrade his wheels. He's got these rims and tires that he's like, to buy them outright would be ~$350/piece, so of course he thinks Discount's just going to give him hundred bucks, or maybe more, per combo! The tires had maybe 1k miles on them.

So of course, the Discount dude's like, yeah we don't want them, but if you insist, we'll give you hundred bucks for the whole lot, spare included. After picking his jaw off the floor from the moxie, Old Man indignantly gives the "but you sell them for X" speech, to which the Discount dude says follow me.

We walk down a short hallway, turn and there's a door. He opens the door and behold, a whole goshdarn stack of the same exact tire/rim combo. He claimed most just abandoned them once he showed the pile to them, but since my old man's tires were still in good shape, he thought he could flip the set for a couple hundred over.

Needless to say, he took the offer.
