I am also fond of Weld wheels. I don't have any on a Bronco yet... Ole Blue has a set of Super Singles though...

They haven't been made in a long time, maybe in the nineties, if you damage one it may be very hard to replace. They were pretty lightweight, I've heard of some cracking so look them over very carefully.
The Mickey Thompson/Alcoa wheels looked pretty similar, a search for them might result in more pics.

My favorite wheel of all time even more than the M/T Alcoa.

I would run them on an eb forever.
I feel that quality like that never goes out of style.

Wasn't that a factory ford wheel in the early 90's? Or at least a version of it.
I had a set on my '77 F250 I couldn't wait to get rid of. Would have preferred the steelies and hubcaps. Couldn't find those so I got the wide oval slots.

Ford had Alcoa make a forged heavy duty wheel that looked a little like the Weld super single, but they were much different. The Super Single series are actually an exceptionally strong wheel and most were a lot wider than the 'Ford Alcoas' which came on some '90's 250s and 350s. The Weld SS wheels were the only alloy wheel that were rated for a max load rating with a 18-44 tire!

Yeah I had a set I put on my new 2500 chevy with a 454 because I knew they were strong.
