Now that I'm leveled up a bit I need to start looking at rims but my head be spinning at all the choices 🙃 ,stay with 18's or 17's might ride better and the off set mystery to me is somewhat overwhelming . Black and easy to clean would be nice and I want them sticking out a bit as I'll probably add flares anyway. I'm not sure I trust online combos because maybe a balance issue so I'll probably get a local shop to do it if I could make up my mind on something 🤔...

Those look old school and easy to clean, is +25 what I'm wanting?

not sure what your budget is but I have always been a fan of the Roush wheels, other on here have offered much less and sellers has taken it

I'm running the roush wheels at +25 and they do stick out a bit, about an inch past the OE flares with 285/70/17 perfect in my book. I personally like the ready lift bars. I feel like they will actually do some protecting as did the originals. The bds just look cheap and weak to me. YMMV
Edited to correct tire size

If you go check out the Roush Wheels thread I'll bet you will find a pic of carbonized gray with these wheels.

I'm not sure what your budget is but I always liked the Method wheels and was thinking about getting them on my '19 before the accident. Here's the ones they have for your '21 Ranger. Most of them have several different colors so there's plenty there to confuse you even more. lol

If you off road and lower tire pressure I would go with Method MR703 bead grip. I have the MR316 same wheel without the bead grip. Did not see the other option until I had already made the purchase. These are 18x9 Plus 18 offset with 285/65/18 KO2 tires for reference with Fox 2.5 level in front.

Man, that bead grip is no joke. We have methods on our '23 Pilot and when they were airing the tires up, I could see it took some air pressure to get the tire to seat itself.

If I were replacing my wheels, I would be looking for a wheel with their bead grip feature.

I know I was bummed when I realized my mistake. The rims without bead grip I air down to 15 with no issues. With the bead grip you would be safe down to 10. Seen a video where they went down to 5, but 10 would be the lowest for me.

No off roading , although some may consider our normal roads here in WV as that very thing... I do like the looks of the bead locks but looks hard to clean...
