JL Rubicon on Method Wheels...let's see em!

[veld]

Already posted up in other threads; but, I’m running bronze mr312 17x9 4.53” backspacing, teraflex hd carrier, cooper stt pro 315/70 at 32 psi. Sting gray rubicon (mentioned for other members using the search function ).

Offhand before mounted the method wheel quality control with paint and finish definitely are NOT the caliber of fuel wheels (which I typically bought for my other cars). Definitely feels like a rushed Chinese manufacturer. AND I bought from 3 different retailers. One rim from amazon for $119 (not kidding it was new too), one from Northridge, and 3 from jcwhitney... I did this Bc I’d be best prices with promotions. Paint on the hub mating surface looked like the wheels were mounted but that’s probably from the machine that held the wheel to paint.

There were a few small paint high points and heaped areas. However after I got these mounted I didn’t care anymore. I expect them to get beat up and will buy different rims in a few years.

Overall I’m happy with my wheels.





if I understand correctly, do you think that the finish of the Method is not very good? other people have the same return? In Europe the methods are considered as high quality wheels like AEV or Mopar, not the same in USA ?

If I had to compare to fuel or XD, I think they do a better job with painting in regards to quality control. Is it a deal breaker? No... I kept my wheels and love them after mounted.

Nope, I used the ones that came with it.
They dont stand out and look really good on the wheels.

4wheelparts has 15% off Method wheels right now. I never thought picking wheels would be such a pain in the ass, I should've bought a color that clashes with more colors..

I’d recommend you contact Method directly, they’ll probably recommend the use of a beadlock spacer. But they’ll point you in the right direction.
