Where Are Method Wheels Made?

Method is a company based in the United States. Their wheels are designed, engineered, and tested entirely in the United States. They are, however, made in China. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

Unions, the cost of living, and employee entitlement all cost companies a lot of money in North America. Many of them turn to factories in China for lower labor costs, resulting in lower prices.

Since the factories still have a contract with the American company. It is up to the company to establish the rules and guidelines for the level of quality that will be accepted. If the factory wants to stay in business, they must keep the American company satisfied with the quality.

Method is capable of successfully managing this relationship. This results in a win-win situation for everyone, and it's how they're able to provide us with fantastic wheels at such a low cost. Method Race Wheels have a distinct "Made in China" feel to them. Finally, you are receiving a high-quality product from an American company.

Are Method Race Wheels Hub Centric or Lug Centric?

All of Method's street wheels are lug centric. That means lug nuts are even more important than hub centric wheels. Your original lug nuts will not fit. You'll need a set of aftermarket "acorn" lug nuts, such as these.

Lug centric wheels differ from hub centric wheels in several ways. There are a few things you can do to ensure that you don't experience any vibrations: If the shop is having trouble balancing them, ensure that they are using a machine that bolts the wheel on by the lug nuts rather than a single cone.

When mounting the wheels to your vehicle, tighten the lug nuts gradually. Vibrations may occur if you zip each one all the way up (even in a star pattern). Torque each one down in stepped increments of 25, 50, 75, and 100 ft lbs, or whatever the recommended setting is for your vehicle. You must still use the traditional star pattern.

How To Clean and Care For Your Method Wheels

As long as your wheels haven't been neglected, you shouldn't need much more than car soap and a few brushes to clean them. A mild, non-acidic wheel cleaner will provide more cleaning power.

Water spots are a common problem with matte finishes. They can be extremely difficult to remove once they have dried on the porous finish. One solution is to use spray wax on them. It will protect them and make them easier to clean, but it will also add a bit of shine.

A mild car soap is all that is required to thoroughly clean them. It's a great investment if you intend to keep your wheels for a long time.
