Phase 2: Hubcap Wheel Project (w/ Geolandar AT Tires) on my 1st Gen Bronco Tribute Build

I know that full wheel covers or hubcaps are not for everyone, but this is the look I had in mind from the start for my 1st gen tribute build. I had to wait to implement it because of supply chain issues and backordered parts. Finally Phase 2 wheels are done!

I'll get better photos soon.

The hubcaps are rad. Perfect heritage edition.

I am too, but I'm MORE afraid of not having a cool retro looking Bronco!

I love what you have done with your Bronco. It looks awesome! The hub caps really bring that retro “flair” to it.

It would be cool if someone came up with a usable solution for the bumpers. I thought about the top half body color and the bottom chrome (wrap or spray?), but I’m not sure the factory design lends itself to a retro look…

I'm not a fan of hubcaps at all. I would sooner run a plain steel wheel, but the execution of your vision deserves respect. A very unique 6G, in a good way.

I have to admit I really like the look you've created much more than I thought I would.

Very nice.

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Looks great! My wife actually spotted your Bronco on a Facebook group and loves the look (surprisingly). I have 2 sets of 60’s and 70’s Ford dog-dish hubcaps I’ve been thinking about figuring a way to use them.

You did an excellent job of getting "The Look"!

I’ve never been a fan of the “add white stuff to be heritage” look. It’s usually a jumble of gray, white and body colors that tend to wreck the idea. But you just changed my entire view with this one. It’s stunning. The white wheels and hubcaps pull the whole look together, and the painted fender flares work perfectly to smooth out the picture. VERY nicely done.

Holy crap, that looks fantastic!

First rule: Look Cool.

Love it ! Great work!

Impressive amount of detail. You pulled off the first gen look as completely as can be done. Even the Ford on the tailgate.

Awesome looking bronco.
