    Just installed method mesh wheels on my taco and NV's on the 4Runner but hate how the center caps stick out so much. Wondering if anyone is making these for our bore size image.jpg

    If you search up "method flush center caps" there's a guy on a ford forum who makes them and can engrave anything you want in them. Gonna go that route. Now I just can't decide if I want to do double standards or NVs

    I don't know what the hub bore looks like on the Methods, but the caps that come with the Level 8 MK6s looks like it would fit. You'd just have to paint them black. If you can measure the inside of the bore where the cap goes in, I can measure my MK6 caps.

    I actually hit up that guy to see if he can make something custom without the SVT he said no! Actually at the time I hit him up he wasnt even making those anymore.

    Sure will. Got mesh on the taco and nv on the 4Runner. Thinking about running w/o caps on both. The NV's caps are longer it seems

    how long ago did you contact him? I think you can be put on a waiting list. Unless he's only doing it for raptor owners

    Has anyone found a decent provider for flush mounted caps yet? Would really like to get my hands on a set.

    Yeah I’d love to see what they look like on our trucks. I’m seriously considering getting these.

    @mesojdm makes center caps that are closer to flush here:
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/custom-trd-method-nv-center-caps.513587/
    It all depends on the wheel, but the consensus was that the protruding Tacoma hub in combination with the Method wheel hub design would not allow a completely flush center cap on Method wheels. Other brands can run flush caps but not Method, IIRC.

    Plus you don't have to spend what amounts to the cost of a 5th wheel just to get flush caps.
    :notsure:

    Yeah I’m actually in that thread, I manage to miss the availability window every time a batch is up.

    As far as these flush caps go, the guy said they were a confirmed fit on Tacomas. Looks like they fit 3rd gens pretty good. I guess they are pricey, but I really don’t mind paying a bit more for something that I never have to worry about again. No hardware to rust, no plastic to fade or break, no rattlecan paint to chip.

    Yes I did. The color match is super close but if you really get up close and look you and tell it is just slightly off
