I like the Method's. Been running them on my truck for a while now. They are just real dirty in the beach pic in my signature.

Mine are 17x8.5 with 37x13.50 Toyo MTs. I'm really pleased with them. I ran stock 20" wheels with 37x13.50 Toyo RTs before switching to the Method wheels. The 17" wheels helped soften the ride a good bit.

Some people don't like the smaller 17" wheels, but I prefer them.

I am with you on all of that but I am 50-50 on which way I will go on my 2020 F350. I also have had both sizes. If my F350 was a daily driver I definitely would go with a more flotation tire for a softer ride as you have stated. But my new F350 Will get two short drives a week (about 35 miles each) and then “”at least”” once a month trip to the desert towing a 17,000 pound trailer 6+ Hours each way. I will be running 38 x 13.50 tires. Bottom line is whatever rocks your boat.

Very nice! Thanks! I did order the wheels after I found them on sale. Planning on 285/75/17 (34x11.5)

I personally dont see the point of changing out the rims at all. Why cover up the locking front hubs? If you ever need them, it will suck ***** having to pull out a little hex key to get the centre cap off. Imagine being hub deep in mud and having to do that. No thanks.

Ive done that black rim look on trucks since 2008. I’m sick of spending money on after market upgrades to have a pretty truck. I don’t care anymore. Lol.
Who says you have to run the front center caps? I'm certainly not.

Lol. Fine. The second truck I’ve seen or heard of. Lol. I’m on mobile and don’t feel like zooming into every picture to check. To each their own. 👍

Same... or like many of the wheel companies now- I have my front hubs open, but still with the cap around it covering my lungs but not the hubs.. Makes it useful and still looks complete. My shop did it automatically.

What finish are you looking for? We've got options that are polished, brushed, machined, etc.

Thanks for the interest. I have already ordered the Method NV305's in a machined finish.

That's a good looking wheel. I wish they would do the NV HD in a machined. Only black and bronze in the HD version, unfortunately.
