Method 703 Wheels Installed (17x8.5" Matte Black)

boraxman · Jan 12, 2026

Well finally had my new wheels put on. These are the Method 703's ordered directly from Ford that come as a set of 5. Went with these as I wanted something lighter than the factory beadlocks as well as hub-centric. I know these are pretty common and many folks don't care for black but they work for me.

Specs: 17x8.5, +35mm, 93.25 center bore, 28.5lbs.

Nice wheels. I bought my 703's elsewhere and the center caps are Method-branded, and when I priced the Ford Performance center caps I fell out of my chair. They're around $60-$65 for each small round plastic cap, so be careful with yours! Losing one is an expensive mistake.

Looks great bro! My rig at Raptor Assault was Velocity Blue, already triggering memories lol

Ron Quixote · Jan 12, 2026

Great looking truck. Velocity Blue is so nice.

Best wheels for this truck -- looks great!

Any more pics showing the offset/how flush they are with the fenders? Stock 285’s?

boraxman · Jan 12, 2026

Will get some more pics up later, yes stock KO3's and pushed everything out 20mm or .78". No poke.

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

I always liked the 703. And they go great with the blue.

Did yours not come with the Ford Performance center caps?

Could have ordered them with the Performance caps from performanceparts.ford.com but they didnt have the 25% off code that ford.com had going, which maxed at $200 off, that and my points got me $460 off.

Wouldnt have minded the performance caps but no biggie, these look good for now.

Makes sense! I didn’t realize they sold different packages on Ford vs Ford Performance. I got mine from Summit Racing.

I just had to replace a Ford Performance center cap on my 703's. Luckily I had enough Ford pass points to just pay for shipping. Next time I hope I break 2 or 3 so it's worth replacing with Method center caps lol.

And here’s my velocity blue lariat with bronze 703’s to round out the 703 catalog in one thread.

Do you guys have a link to the center caps? I bought at Discount Tire and just have the regular method caps.
