I just had a customer request the stainless steel bolts from Method for his NV's.
They come in 4 packs of 24. Contact me if you would like to get a set.

I went to bolt supply house and ordered them in black oxide. Rusted almost immediately.
Currently looking for a CDN source for the plastic bolts.

My stock bolts haven't seen a winter yet, but wanted to change to stainless before the snow hits. I called Method and they wouldn't work with me for some reason. I found them and bought them from the link below. I also found them at tirerack as well but without free shipping they cost more.

It's stupid for them to use anything that corrodes. I can see it on real beadlocks, as those bolts need to actually provide a clamp load, but for the fake ones- they should ship with aluminum, SS, or plastic bolts.

So they are cast in China, most of their wheels are not hubcentric, the stock lug nuts don't fit, generally have crappy offset for a Raptor, nobody likes the centercaps, and the bolts corrode. What's the reason you guys buy Method wheels?

There are American made wheels available that are hubcentric, work with the stock lugs nuts, come with plastic bolts for the fake beadlock, and cost within a few bucks of the Chi-com made Methods. I have a set on my truck.

What do you have that is American made and cost close to what Method's cost?

These. I have the gunmetal color.

Three color options for the 012 wheels... All around $170 a wheel. All use the stock lug nuts and are hubcentric. The bolts are plastic, so they will not corrode.

That's cheaper than most Method wheels, and they have a better offfset as well. AE has true beadlocks in the 012 style too.

The only downside is there's no easy way to swap out the centercap to one that says SVT.
