Opinions of Method Wheels

[dxbtj]

I cant speak for methods on wranglers, but i have friends with heavier cars (Landcruisers and Patrols), alot of them ended up with bent wheels. We do only desert driving so perhaps it takes a bigger toll due to whoops and jumps

I still think the Moab is my favorite wheel

I agree and with a machined finish.

Follows suit with what I have consistently heard and read.

Yes, I'm looking for a set of machined ones. Hopefully some pop up!

It may be the expensive route, but any of the Genuine Moabs can be completely stripped, trued, painted, and have the spokes machined. Check my build thread for an example.

Oh really? I didn't realize this. Mine are painted (and genuine), but I don't even know what the machining process entails or who I would even contact about such a thing. Guess I need to check out your build thread.

Thought you got some?

The ones on quadratec?

 

[dxbtj]

A real sturdy brand of rims that my friends have switched to Braid and Evo Corse, they are actual rally wheels. but ofcourse this comes with a high cost

The ones on quadratec?

Ohhhh, that’s right. Forgot about those!

 

[Starrs]

They are Black, but here’s a photo of them on my Jeep.View attachment 162241

That’s the only color I could run on those. The others are way too much. Black looks pretty good

Probably less than $150/wheel to have yours done the way you want them and basically be new.

It’s the one I have on mine. Quad clones

I know it seems silly, but eventually I will have my genuine Mopar Moabs (in storage) stripped, trued (if needed), painted, and then machined.

I am thinking I may end up doing the exact same thing as you did.

I think they tend to be abit narrower, but you can always shoot them a message. In terms of looks they definitely are more "rally" style. There are bead lock options available as well. The one below is a popular choice

you can find them here:

For evo corse here is the link, but i am not too familiar with their offerings:

You are missing a lug nut on your right front wheel.

 

[Fouledplugs]

Probably less than $150/wheel to have yours done the way you want them and basically be new.

I would say ballpark. It really depends on who does it and if they are familiar with the task.

These were painted black by my brother for a Rubihara type look. You can see in the second pic, a machined face and the others have not been machined yet

Agreed and location. Both places Ive been and got wheels done, Charlotte and Ft Lauderdale, are huge markets.
