MHT said the molds were just qualified, and the samples were clean. They are hoping to get the mold inline this month and hope to have the wheels out to BC by the end of August or September at the very latest. This is of course providing everything goes well...

I should have samples this week for a photo shoot using a Coyote installed Bronco. We will start getting wheels the first part of August and all 200 by the end of the month.

We will be running these on our New race Bronco, to give them a true abuse test.

I sent you a PM Cactus killer. I'm interested in a set of 5 but was curious about the shipping costs. Thanks

Last week I heard from a very reliable little birdie that the wheels are in transit and that BCB should start receiving the wheels in 2-3 weeks. Just thought I'd pass this along.

Update

We have the first shipment of wheels in stock. If you didn't get a call today you will be getting one tomorrow that we are ready to start shipping.
If you didn't get a set ordered we still have about 10 spots for the MASS BUY price.
We will be getting these wheels on tires tomorrow so we can get pictures on a Bronco and to check them with the 14" Wilwood rotors.
even tough they are the same design as the 15 they look much better.
These wheels will make your resto mod look classic but updated at the same time.

wheels on

pict 1 shows the 17" (3.5"back space) and the 77D44 knuckle clearing by a lot no more 1/4" wheel spacer to clear tierods, heim steering, tie rod under or tie rod over.
pict 2 shows the new wheel and Wilwood brake package rolling out next week.
pict 3 shows the 14" Wilwood rotor and caliper fitting the new 17" wheel nicely.
pict 4 shows the 17" wheels on 285/70/17 BFG's on the latest Coyote converted Bronco to leave the shop.

That EB has 3.5 SL and 2 BL and normally runs on 35s. Jason put the new 17" slots with those tires on it for a local show. Soon it will have a set of 35s on the new 17"s.

Thanks Austx,

I'm going to be running LT315/70R/17 (34.4" x 12.7" x 17") Dura tracs. With a 2.5" suspension and 1" body lift. I won't be doing too much off road, real tough stuff anyway. So the look should be just about perfect.
