Looks really sharp.

Question: Are Methods made in the good ole USA?

I'm wondering what type to go with on a Race Red Raptor. I'm liking the machined ring but wish I could see a side-by-side on the truck.

I'm also wondering how difficult they are to maintain. Any thoughts?

Also wondering what would be needed to keep the machined ring nice especially in winter in ny

Nice wheels! I personally would Black out the bolts on the machined lip. Or could you order them already black? It would bring out the BA look imo.

They are made in China, but the quality and fit/finish is not bad, close to any wheel I have owned, including USA wheels like ,Weld Forged, True Forged, Halibrands, and high end Euro wheels I have owned like BBS.

Cleaning them is a slight PITA< but it's a truck, looks better dirty. The center caps are plastic and have many nooks and crooks for the mud to stay caked in. The flat black wheels also are suscptable to water spots pretty bad, but what I have found is a product that I have been using for a while now on all my trim on my vehicles, turtle wax ice, works great on the wheels, caps, black lugs. They look great when cleaned up, plus the ice adds a synthetic film, kinda like wax, that protects and keeps flat black looking nice and smooth and evenly sheened.

I'm buying the wheel you sent back as a spare, lol

I had thought about keeping it as a spare but changed my mind for now. I was going back and forth about keeping it.

Nice wheels! I personally would Black out the bolts on the machined lip. Or could you order them already black? It would bring out the BA look imo.

I am going to black out the bolts when it starts to get warmer out.

They are made in China, but the quality and fit/finish is not bad, close to any wheel I have owned, including USA wheels like ,Weld Forged, True Forged, Halibrands, and high end Euro wheels I have owned like BBS.

What J-train said pretty much sums it up. I plan to get grabbers down the road. I will say one thing now that I have these wheels on the truck I'm getting more head turns from other dodges, fords and chevys

dumb question, can you remove and install the center hubs on method wheels with the wheel in place or do you have to remove the wheels and feed the hub through the back side. I hope this questions makes sense.

Center cap? You have to take the wheel off because the center cap has a lip on the back side.
