Been (im)patiently waiting for the shipping process to run its course finally have my Bronco arrive at Granger. My blend was 9/9, I got the call today.

Shortly after I found out I'd be picking it up soon I got my photo from Ford. It was a black Badlands, but with standard wheels instead of the optional beadlock\beauty-ring wheels I ordered. I thought maybe they swap the wheels later? Or maybe they just don't actually send the actual photo of your Bronco and this was close enough?

Unfortunately wrong on both counts. Confirmed with Granger WBDO is right and the window sticker is right, they just assembled it wrong. Not sure what happens next yet, but damn. Too bad they don't send the photos in real time - I could have QC'd it for them before they shipped it.

That seems careless… hoping the owner wouldn’t notice?? Lol I have the same beadlock wheels ordered for mine. I’d immediately notice that as well. Sorry that happened. Hopefully they’ll ship the correct wheels to the dealer so it can be adjusted before you pick up?

Check all five wheels when you finally get it...maybe you ended up like this guy
True. I can only see two wheels in the picture. Maybe the other side has the correct wheels.

From talking to Granger I already know that's unlikely. They said expect weeks at a very minimum, so I may as well pick it up and drive it (if that's an option, they aren't sure yet). Also it's 6 hours away so 🤷‍♂️

is it possible they mixed up the vin# with the pic? , these are all actual photos of each individual vehicle.

I hoped that would be the case but no, Granger visually confirmed they are wrong.

Fed ex can have a set of wheels from Michigan to Iowa in 24 hours. I wouldn’t settle for anything less.

More than likely they were out of the wheels you ordered and did not want to shut down the production line.

They must have not been able to find four concrete blocks to set your Bronco on out back while they waited for the ordered wheels to come in.
