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?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.

Yes. But the lighter wheel gives justification to offset the weight savings with a heavier MTLooks great, those are the ones I'll be after eventually. So that is 7lbs lighter than a stock Sasquatch wheel?
I measured my old Sasquatch’s at a hair over 39lbs. They’re heavy AF.Looks great, those are the ones I'll be after eventually. So that is 7lbs lighter than a stock Sasquatch wheel?
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 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.
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.Thanks.

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.
Me too, lol.It was always my job to jump out and lock the hubs when I was a kid.
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.Yes. But the lighter wheel gives justification to offset the weight savings with a heavier MT.

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.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.
