    Hahaha I was going to say black wheels too, which is funny considering this forum's aversion to them. I'm working on my jeeps wiring right now too, and it's dreadful! I'm confident that I'm going to blow something up when I finally get it installed.

    I think with the color and amount of black on the bronco, you need some pop! Chrome!

    I'd vote black wheels on this one....and I generally don't like black wheels either.

    The thing here is, I have the 4 chrome wheels already on the Bronc, and just that one black/tire combo. On Bronco Nation of which I post rarely, a facebook thing, I should have done a poll, but alas, did not :shrug:. It's like here, very mixed; kind of driving me coocoo! lol A few didn't mind informing me to remove the "dumb Raptor decal", which only makes me want to keep it out of spite :madwife:, however, there are a lot of inspiring nice responses.


    In the meantime, working under the dash is so irritating~ not finished. Still waiting for a speedometer part. I'll probably repaint the green; just attempting to connect it to the exterior.

    More or less just playing today, installed the seats to see how they look~ I'm quite pleased:) The wires hanging out are for radio, a dome light wire/courtesy, and an extra hot wire. I haven't bought a radio yet:(

    and Chewie or Chewbaka Yoda, the shop dog: mini aussie 5 y/0. Have to build something for here to perch herself during rides;), she loves being included;)

    I wanted to see how Gary does getting into the passenger side (right side hip replacement), but I bought the C4 transmission so he could drive. I drive all the classics, some people just don't do the manual shift very well.

    Things like wheels unfortunately are very subjective and therefore open to lots of opinions. I don't necessarily think the bright wheels look bad, it's the style of that particular wheel that I don't care for. Obviously lots of people do. Although I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, the style of your particular black wheel is more visually appealing to my eyeballs. If it was a bright wheel, it would still be my choice over the other style. But the kicker is- It's your build and you can put whatever wheel you want on it. :) I totally understand leaving them... they are paid for after all.

    Very subjective~ I think down the road, we'll look more at wheels n stuff, but for now, I'd like to get the darned thing road worthy;)

    Bah, I wouldn't do the decal thing either, but that's just because I'm not a decal kinda guy. Do what makes you happy.

    Our Maggie (Aussie/Boarder Collie mix --- AKA a Bossie) was a tremendous wiggle butt, miss her every day.
