Thinking of putting these on. $333 each. Anyone have a thought? I thought they would look great on the black square.

I actually just put the 701HD version on my older ram. I was looking for a very specific offset and load rating (these exceed oem at 4500lbs each). My only other rule was no faux bead locks. This is almost an impossible task nowadays. People seem to like fake bolt heads all over the rim.

I’ve been happy with the combo of the wheels and my Load F rated Nitto ridge grapplers in 35 18 12.50. I was looking for 17” wheels with all the considerations stated above, but they were unobtanium.

My main gripe is that the center caps are plastic and the have faux chrome hex cap screws. They can be popped out, so I’ll likely replace them with something black.

Not quite as bad as when people thought spinners were cool. Glad that trend only lasted for 6 minutes. Don't think I have ever seen a fad die so quickly.

I remember the first time I saw some spinner hubcaps at autozone. Thank you Latrell Sprewell.

Going through all the possible reasons for my vibration. When I watched the tire guys road force balance them, the welded steel rims appeared to be a little wobbly. Wouldn't mind a nice milled aluminum straight wheel.

A very nice looking wheel, IMO.
Not my cup of tea for a squarebody, but not my truck or $$.
One thing to think about or be aware of is the thickness of the rim at the wheel lugs and if it will require longer wheel lugs.
The old aluminum wheels that are on the blue truck currently are a little too thick for the length of the OE lugs and don’t get full engagement on the lug nuts.

Looks like it's a no go for the Method wheels. Old lady gave the matte black a thumbs down.

Are different finishes available? I think a bronze type color would work well.

Or how about those stick-on hood scoops??? Being the owner of an Old's with a W-25 hood, I just want to take a baseball bat and beat those off of people's hoods, they look re damn diculous!

Those things had a habit of finding me. I bought a truck with a set on it, I didn't like them, so I traded them off to a coworker so he could put them on his truck. Well, a couple years later, I bought that truck and had to remove those scoops again lol. Then there was a nice fella I knew that gave me a couple brand new pairs... not wanting to be rude, I accepted them. So then I had to re-home those ones too.

I like the black spoke on a square.
