Just got a set of 5 of these. Matte Titianium Gray. Saw some conflicting info re weight. So, weighed them myself. Weight = 28.4 lbs.

Looks great, those are the ones I'll be after eventually. So that is 7lbs lighter than a stock Sasquatch wheel?

Yes. But the lighter wheel gives justification to offset the weight savings with a heavier MT 🙃 .

Does anybody have pictures of the 703 Matte Titanium Gray wheels mounted on a cactus gray Bronco? Wondering how it would look.

I measured my old Sasquatch’s at a hair over 39lbs. They’re heavy AF.
@Beach_Bum love the look, especially the raised red letter tires. I wish I could get those FP center caps for my titanium Method 316’s but mine aren’t hub centric.

Thanks. I was holding out for the FP "faux locking hub" caps. Gives it a little old-school nod. The early batch from FP still had the Method center cap.

I knew the Sasquatch wheel was heavy. I thought they were 36lbs. 39lbs is worse, yet.

I love the X3's. The red letters are quite distinctive. They are a heavy tire, though. Still worth it.

Oh wow, so 13lbs a wheel almost full offsets the weight I gained when going to Falken Wildpeak RT01s. I think these wheels just moved up to the top of my priority list.

These were my first choice wheel but unobtainable when I was ready, so I pivoted to RTR Evo. Pulling this much weight from wheels is a real game changer when doing five tire rotation and other wheel off work. The RTR’s came in under 24 lbs. I may eventually pivot back to these wheels when I go to 35’s.

Going to a lighter wheel always helps me justify a new wheel purchase as being "not just for looks". Improvements to handling, braking, and acceleration may be difficult to quantify, but it's a certainly a better move than going to something heavier. My 17x8 TK15 Sport Terrains come in at 23 lbs.

Dang, I do like the stock beauty ring and thought of adding a bead lock, but with that weight of 39lbs, no way in hell I’d do that along with an E rated tire.

Thone Method FPs you’ve got look pretty darn good. Think I want to go Nitto Ridge Grappler, but only if I can get them in D rated, as E is just too heavy for a daily with the stock wheels.

Are the Grabbers D or E?

Think I’ll need to get over the bead lock look and go with the Method if they have that bead seal function.

The Methods have what they call "Bead-Grip" which are a series of concentric ridges/rings on the interior bead seat. Obviously not a substitution for a true bead lock wheel. But most people don't need a true bead lock.

The General Grabber X3's are a true MT and are heavy E rated. A different vantage point showing the tread block pattern.
