Sorry. I just saw this thread. I've attached some pics of my Rubi with the Fat Five Method Race Wheels. I got them once I saw nobody else had them. Not to mention, method's reputation for quality goodies. My only gripe, they are not hub centric.

Any vibration issues, since they're not hubcentric? Did they come with rings, or did you have to buy them separately? Also, where did you buy the wheels and/or rings?

No vibration. Put about 8 k miles on with no issues. No rings either. Torque spec th wheels an hey have been good. Did a few Lon trips, ticking out around 75-80 mph, no wobble, shake or vibration. Performance 4 trucks was where I picked them up. I just saw them on sale somewhere for $180/wheel.
