Ford Bronco Sport Choices.... Drag DR-72


I'm leaning heavily towards the Tourens. Both are 18" wheels. I'm installing a RC bull bar in matte black up front and a matte black step bumper in the rear, so I'd like the wheels to match these accessories.

Between these two, the Touren for sure. Looks like its spokes have more meat.
That was why I preferred them. I don't want something that looks spindly. The Drag wheels remind me of American Racing Torque Thrust Ds, a classic rim that's my favorite. But it's modernized and much less beefy.

The only thing I'd mention is the lack of variety for an 18" AT tire if that's also a plan you may want to make sure you'll get what you want. But yeah those tr9's are real nice.

Definitely the Drag DR-72 looks much better to me!

pro:
continuation of black on black underbelly color theme especially if planning on black bull bar and black step bar
con: black coloration along with the tires makes the wheel lose definition, just becomes part of the tire IMO

DR-72
pro:
adds nice contrast to an already dominant blackout of color & wheel definition stands out not being lost in the black void
con: throws off the black theme if that is what you're seeking

Your answer lies within the oracle 8 ball

I like the TR9’s a lot, pretty sharp.

Definitely a fan of black contrast against the paint theme. TR9's get my vote.

Is there a weight difference? A lighter wheel will result in better overall vehicle performance. I wouldn't use the amount of metal to gauge strength. A forged wheel will get you the same durability with less material (and less weight).
