I bought a 1990 Bronco this week with these style rims. Any idea if they are correct? It didn’t come with center caps

You couild probably use universal caps on it. The type that slips through the back of the wheel, but I wonder if you would be able to get on the lug nuts with them installed.

I have no idea what brand wheels those are. Maybe when you start cleaning them a logo will pop up? Or makers mark.

I am betting that is an old school Western Bullet wheel

I'd agree. I've got a 90 XLT, that I've had since 91 and they came standard with slotted steel and trim rings Looks like the vehicle in the reflection of yours has polished Alcoas. Those are much nicer wheels. Just my humble $.02

No these are not stock. If you want stock rims w center caps try LMC. They are 15" rims.
I bought new 20" rims for my 96.. so I got rid of mine

I've seen these rims before (like 30 years ago), they are Ford Motor Co, but I don't think they're for the Bronco Full-Size. I searched through eBay and several other aftermarket vendors for OEM rims and have had no luck in finding them. Just my humble $.02

I depending on what you are wanting to do. I would recommend going w larger new style rims. There are a number of websites that will show you what will fit. I put 20" on mine w 50 side walls and have plenty of room. I would rather going w 65'. Didn't know enough at the time. And my truck is not jacked up. Standard height.
Standard rims are 265 75 R15.
I believe my new tires are 265 50 R20.
The main thing you need to check is tire offset. If I was told correctly, standard rims are -10 offset. My 20's are 0 offset.

i believe its 10 mm but I do not remember.. the negative brings the tire closer to the axle.

Positive off set brings the tire closer to the axle (more backspacing)
Negative offset pushes the tire out (less back spacing)
