I'm thinking the Bronco might be able to pull off these old school wheels.

I kinda love it, and I kinda hate that I do... lol
There's probably plenty of room. They're sitting on the ground in front of the existing mounted wheels so it looks worse than it probably would be.

Are they 16"? I only ask because my 15" AR Baja test interfered with the rear calipers, and I'm not grinding the calipers to make them work :(

They are 16s which is why I had to try them. The set was $50 so at worst it's a cheap thrill.

Looks better than many of the wheels I've seen here. I'd leave them dull. Shiny wheels seem out of place to me on the 6G.

I don't think they would. They'll stick out about 1" farther than wha

My first look at them last night, tired after work, was it looked a little full in there. But, after reading/seeing the wheels are next to it and visualizing how they would look mounted and tucked under I can really see these looking pretty cool; looks like you get just a little more space once mounted, not much mind you, but a little more. Am I correct?

Have you thought about painting them.

If for example you were going white on decals or the top or... whatever. The wheels could be painted white too. You have options to complicate your decision. White with blue accents, or other paint options, polished, brushed... or just the way they are.

White paint is an interesting idea that might just work.

I'm going to have to bolt one on for real and see how it fits.

You could make white cardboard/poster board cutouts including the slots and accents to put under your bolts to get an idea how that would look. Powder coated would look both retro and fresh at the same time.

This is the kind of thinking that makes me want to take SAS off and look for something like this to modify (powder coat) and install. I can see the theme already, mines blue too. But I want the lockers, if only lockers could be a line item option on the base Bronco; even if only the rear. And, spending a couple of grand to add an aftermarket locker just makes spending the money for all that a SAS gets worth it.

First thought was "Wow - free sandblasting for your door panels!"

Then I realized they were just sitting next to the existing wheels/tires.
