    Out in Anza Borrego this weekend... not 100% sure but I think I hit a rock perfectly centered that cracked the wheel perfectly in half 9CD4F819-6D35-49F5-83DB-E6BD85BDDDBD.jpg

    Mods? Yes, oh yes..
    deng. .. If that were me, I'd be looking for 4 wheels (not methods) and selling the other 3... Sure they deform, crack etc, but to break in half? defect? Scary. Catastrophic wheel/tire failure at speed is one of my biggest fears. Pretty cool wall art now...

    This has always been a problem with aluminum wheels. If you drive offroad then they become consumables. Its why many of us run steelies, they bend but thats not as catastrophic.

    Just saw almost the exact same pic with a SCS wheel last week. And they took care of it.

    Clean it up and send a pic to method and see if they will help you out? It cant hurt.

    Damn dude... Well it looks like you were cruising slow enough where the wheel failure didn’t cause any harm, which is good!

    Pretty crazy, glad you’re alright.

    I’d definitely hit up Method and see what they say.

    Call method, i bet they give you a new wheel

    If Cameron Steele can win the 1000 on methods than yours should get replaced

    The Method wheels race trucks run are forged wheels, not cast like their street series. Forged are significantly stronger.

    OP, I'd still give method a shout and see if they'll warranty that for you.

    Did they end up taking care of you? It would be good to post up how method handled this so other can use that info in their future wheel shoppings...
