Wow a month. Guess I’ll just have to be patient. Thanks for responding!

I don’t think mine took a month but I don’t remember. Maybe a week or two.

I actually called twice to see what the hold-up was but didnt get much info, could be because I ordered in Dec. and Im in California, think they shipped from Michigan.

 

[Parknas54]

Yeah if they come from Michigan it doesn’t help plus now the crazy cold weather hitting the country probably slowing down the trucks. Thanks everyone for the replies.

I ordered mine from Summit Racing and they were drop shipped from Ford directly. Mine took a little over 3 weeks.

Thanks for the info. Looking like 2 to 4 weeks is the norm.

My 705s from TireRack took a little over a month, so seems to be par for the course, but I think the Methods provide the best balance between weight, tire bead grip and decently good no frills esthetics.

Yes there are better looking wheels, I really liked the Guard from Black Rhino, but the Guard wheels where only a few pounds lighter than the OE beadlocks and no beadgrip technology, so it was too hard a pill to swallow just for the sake of asthetics, especially at the price point. I usually choose function over form, but its nice when you can get little better form with the function and method fit the bill.

The 705s gave me three things 1. Much less weight (over -10lbs per wheel) 2. Beadgrip for any aired down uses during offroading (including emergencies) and 3. Much improved esthetics over the OE lockers that stuck out a lot, giving the tire / wheel a strange appearance.

So 703 or 705s are both worth the wait!

Wheels came in! Got lucky. Only took a week. Can’t wait to get them mounted on the truck.

Nice. Yea really just depends on what they have stocked at the time you order

Does anyone know if the center caps on the Method standard wheels (703's, 705's etc.) are the same size as the ones Method makes to Ford Performance spec (i.e., the Ford versions)?

I know the "Ford spec" methods use the OE hub bore instead of the universal fit + rings so they are hub-centric without using rings, but my 705's didn't have any issues without hub rings, no vibration (in fact, they are a bit smoother than the OEM Bead locks, probably because they required a lot less weight to balance than the OEM's).

As dumb as it sounds, I might be willing to pay the ~$250 for the ford spec center caps to get that OEM like blend, I think the 705's I got on mine look pretty good and really fit in with the appearance of the RR, the Ford center caps would be just the right touch on that.

They are. Confirmed this directly from Method just a few days ago.

Per Method:

“Ford Performance wheels will take any of our snap-in center caps, that have 6x5.5 in the description.”

Yes they are however the ford performance ones are like $60 a piece...I just had to replace one

Great choice! I just had the gray color of the same wheels installed last week!

Finally someone posted these exact wheels on a RR. I have a shadow black RR with xpel stealth ppf and dark grey accents around the truck and I wanted these to finish off the look. I was hesitant to pull the trigger on these because I was worried they'd too light of a gray color. Your photo looks like that's not the case. Do you mind posting more photos from different angles/lighting?

Sure, I will get some soon and post them. They are fairly dark and do look different in different lighting conditions. They sometimes look blue.
