Which wheels?

[eBronc2]

Trying to decide between different types of wheels. First set is stock Dodge Power Wagon forged polished alloys, 17 x 8.

These are Method 304 Double Standard "beadlock" 17 x 8.5 machined aluminum:

No tires yet (obviously), they will be either 35 or 37 12.50 17"s. Possibly 315/70/17 takeoffs from my 2022 Bronco Badlands.

The top set. I’m a sucker for a 5 point wheel

I like the dodge wheels, everybody has methods these days. Nice to see something different.

I second the dodge wheel, just keep in mind they will need a spacer.

Top pic, but I’m a fan of sloted mags, and they are kinda close
what size tires are you going to use

Yep, they have a pretty serious offset - which is good, because the full-width axles push them pretty far out of the wheelwells. The fronts only need a 1/4" spacer so the inner rim will clear the tie rod ends (Dana 44 w/GM outers), the rears don't need a spacer to clear anything (Dana 60 floater). The Methods fit without any help. They do have really deep lug holes, though, which will require long lug nuts.

Are the bottom pic wheels true beadlocks?

 

[svastano]

Dodge wheels for sure.

methods.

if it wasnt a dodge wheel, then I might say the top pic but knowing they are dodge would make my skin crawl

 

[OK75Bronco]

Methods all day

 

[Shimmy]

which one is heavier and by how much? I like both. The first set is a clean/simple design. The methods looks great too. I love the look of beadlocks or multi piece wheels. that being said, i'd go with whichever is lighter weight

 

[Yeller]

I love Method wheels for their construction, if I was bent on buying an aftermarket wheel for my HD truck there's nothing better and nothing else available with the proper weight rating for a single wheel 1 ton. But like spoke wheels in the 70's, or OEM wheels at a new car dealership, everyone has them. You won't find a stronger wheel than that forged dodge wheel.

Dodge wheels have the style that compliments the Bronco.
The Methods are a good looking wheel. But the style is better matched to modern trucks. Clashes with a Bronco instead of compliment it.

Lol - my Bronco has seats from a Mercedes, rear axle from an International Harvester, rear rotors from a GMC, E-brake calipers from a Cadillac, front hubs/rotors from a Chevy...Dodge wheels don't bother me.

The Dodge wheels are amazingly light. When I was swapping them and the Methods around for the photos, the difference was striking.

Hahaha sounds familiar, don’t t go looking too close at mine, there is a reason the last 2 letters on the fender are “no” and not “co”

Both are good, but the top rims are more old school, my favorite.
But they only need to satisfy you. Everyone is a bit different. If you can't decide, go with practical. Best for the way you are going to use your Bronco
