I changed my Raptor wheels to ICON alloys. Never thought Ford put a wheel on any of their trucks that I actually liked. The SAS wheels, I'm keeping. I think my rig looks just about right out of the box. Maybe a level kit.

SAS wheels are very heavy. You can find some wheels 5-10 pounds lighter.
Titan7 wheels (forged) come in at 20.6 pounds on my scale. I run these on my Raptor. Bronco application is coming.

factory SAS wheels are high quality, hub centric and have the offset that matches the flares. You can turn them into real Beadlocks easily.
Even the aftermarket wheels are pretty boring to me these days... all black or bronze
Is the trend.
i went a bit wild, but I can change my true Beadlocks rings to any color powder coat I can find

I kept my stock wheels and put new tires on them. The 18" wheels make for expensive tires it seems, so some may go to a 17 for more options and cost effectiveness. I considered it but like the wheels on the truck, personally. I think lots of people want the offset so they have a good amount of poke outside the fender for that wider look.

I dated a neighborhood girl while in college I knew as a child and a broken home caused her to move away.
She became an auto mechanic and this tingled a few of my frayed wires.
She told me she could never understand why people modify cars and trucks from stock for visual, performance or other reasons.
I came home from college and was invited into her house by one of a few friends she had over and found her having sex with one of those friends in the basement.
I never understood why people cheat on their significant others. People are who and what they are. Choose your own adventure.

As i have a Base, I'm changing to 17"s because the tire selection for 17's is HUGE ... and for the looks.
Actually, if the Base wheel was wider so I could get a wider tire, I'd keep them.
I'd totally rock the silver steelie look.
Ideally, a silver version of the Black Diamond wheels would be awesome, silver , steel AND 17 and wider!

I drove a demo model, and found that the cornering on pavement was affected by the tire roll, which is related to the amount of sidewall. Someone who drives mostly on pavement, and likes to take turns fast, might want less sidewall. Although the Bronco is made for off road, and more sidewall absorbs bumps better, especially when deflated a bit (which also improves traction in sand when you get below 20 psi), some people may use theirs differently and want less sidewall.

If while in college you were dating a girl, unless you are Doogie Howser college age, that is quite the inadvertent confession.

We were born within a week of each other, but your reading comprehension isn't my problem. I called her a girl even though we were both at least 21 at the time because of her immature behaviors.
Some people want larger/smaller/lighter wheels. Some just need a different offset. Some are just dying to be different. Lol
First Edition and yet to find a rim worth buying. But I am in no hurry but it will be a 17 and will be true beadlock.

TrailReady machined some wheels for me... Hub centric +19mm offset (so they don't poke out too much)... You can pick your poison on the rings/colors etc. I have two valve stems, one for TPMS and one for the Monster Valves. One of very few wheels that are hub centric, probably the only beadlocks that are hub centric. https://secure.trbeadlocks.com/17x8-125-45hd17beadlockwheel-1.aspx
You don't have to go as bright as I did on the powder coating...
