I have some NV305s inbound today and will measure the center cap area. Most likely 30.5mm

Thanks for doing that.

Before ordering the caps, I contacted Method Wheels, Told them about the caps being 30.5mm I was wanting. They told me an engineer was at the Sema show for the week and to call em back the following week. When I called back the answering person told me to hang on, I could hear the background Q&A (supposedly the engineer) telling him that all the wheels are 30.5mm...He (answering rep) gets back on the line with me and restated, they are 30.5mm...Wish I had a recording!! They obviously meant 35.0 for Standard Wheels...

I had a PM discussion with Vince before ordering. He told me to make sure of the measurements on the D-Standard Wheel. I told him what Method told me and his response was "that's News to me"...I should've known that a RED flag was being raised!

I'm thinking about checking with a local machine shop asking them if it would be possible to make a Disc that could be affixed/attached to the cap bringing it up to Flush with the wheel face??

I hope you end up with a solution or can get something modified easily. My wheels are still on a truck and I'll be home tomorrow afternoon.

I measured and they are right at 30.5mm for the NV305 wheels.

Mine are 35.0 on Double Standard...When the Caps get delivered I'm gonna try the machined disc to fill the gap...If I fail. I'll sell em.

Thanks for the help.

When do ya think they'll be delivered?

Was it 6-8 weeks after the order was in? I lost all my inbox messages from vince and Im pretty sure the order was in the first week of November.

I just ordered some Method NV machined so if anyone has some machined caps for them to sell, let me know :). (Or black might look good too? Who knows) but would like the SVT engraved

Any updates on the status of the current order?

I'm getting tired of seeing my rusty hubs.

Sounds like there are a few people wanting in on the next round of orders.
