New Tires, powder coated wheels

I got my wheels back form the powder coater yesterday and had my new tires mounted. The bronco is getting closer to being put together. Wheels and tires make a huge difference. Stock wheels in matte black with 31 10.50 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's. No lift, the tires clear with about a half inch at the closest point in the back. This will be a fair weather paved roads only bronco so I shouldn't have to worry about rubbing. The stock wheel covers will go on as soon as I get a set of new or nice red centers for the back wheel covers. Anyone have any? I do like the no covers look too though. Let me know what you think. I will eventually make a build thread.

AMAZING!!!

Looks awesome! Love the look of those wheels. I'm sure someone will chime in about the hub caps.

What color is your half cab? Argent?

I think it looks great, very purposeful. Your paint and body work also seem to be top notch, it isn't easy to make black look that straight.

Thanks everyone, the top is still in primer right now, it will soon be black. I still think that I am going to put the wheel covers on it, I like the look now, but I really like the look of the stock hub caps with an aggressive mud tire.

I've never been a fan of black rims, but powder coating the stockers was a great idea. Another vote for going without hubcaps. Looks great as is.

I vote with keeping the black rims but adding a chrome center cap on the rear. Which ever way it a very sharp Halfcab

I will post some pics when I get my stock hub caps all cleaned up and put on. The only part that sucks is they fit on so tight, even with powder coated wheels, they still scratch the wheels. I am still leaning toward putting the covers on.
