We've seen quite a few Method wheel kits added to the Ford Performance catalog in recent months, but most of them are designed to fit the sixth-generation Ford Bronco. Roughly two years ago, the off-road-focused SUV gained a few options in that regard with matte black, Sinister Bronze, regular bronze, matte gray, and - more recently - Oxford White - wheels, all of which are based on Method's 703 design with Bead Grip technology. Now, the Ford F-150 Raptor is getting its own Method wheel kit, too.
The Ford Performance catalog just added a new 2017-2025 Ford F-150 Raptor Method wheel kit to its available offerings under part number M-1007K-M1785FB, with a retail price of $1,875. It's designed to fit the second-generation 2017-2020 Ford F-150 Raptor, as well as the third-generation 2021-2023 models and the refreshed 2024-2025 version of the high-performance off-road pickup, too.
This new kit includes a set of four matte black Method Race 703 wheels with the company's Bead Grip technology, which engages the tire bead for increased grip at low tire pressures, which makes them great for hardcore off-roaders that tend to air down to maximize grip in certain situations. The wheels are specifically designed with a hub centric fitment for the Ford F-150 Raptor, measuring in at 17 inches in diameter and 8.5 inches wide, with a +32mm offset, 86.87mm center hub bore, and a 6x135mm bolt pattern.
The kit includes four snap-in center caps with the Method Bead Grip logo, along with four TPMS sensors and an activation tool - though Ford notes that the TPMS will not work for 2017-2023 models. The wheels also require a thin wall socket for installation and removal, and don't come with tires, as one would imagine. Regardless, for those looking to switch up the looks of their F-150 Raptor, this kit is about as close as one can get to doing so, at least, in an OEM style application.

Please stop showing UGLY BLACK RIMS, they are awful every time I see any type of vehicle with Black Rims I just want to cringe. They look like their wheel covers fell off or that they live in the HOOD.
I saw our GM driving a beautiful Black Lincoln Navigator with the ugliest Black Wheels, WHY?
I like black wheels and black out trim packages. My 2024 Mustang and my 2024 F-150 are both that way. I’ve never been a big chrome fan (chromosexual). Been that way all my life (75 yrs). Cars, trucks, motorcycles, and racecars. I think it’s because I’m lazy and hate keeping chrome shiny. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to their vehicles.
I can live with anything that enhances a vehicle’s appearance. I have 2019 Raptor wheels on my 2023 F-150 Tremor. They have machine finished spokes with a black background. I like that better than the all black Tremor wheels. I also prefer the 17″ Raptor wheels over the 18″ Tremor wheels because they allow for a taller sidewall which gives a little better highway ride and more sidewall flex off-road. The Raptor wheels are also 1″ wider which also allows for better choices in tire sizes.
