## Overview

The Method Race Wheels 502 VT-SPEC is a forged 15x7 inch matte black wheel engineered with T6 heat-treated A356 aluminum, delivering a lightweight 19.4 lbs and a race-proven 2100 lbs load rating. Designed for Subaru and Mitsubishi vehicles with a 5x100 bolt pattern and +15mm offset, it features stainless steel lug inserts and an open 10-spoke design, ensuring durability and compatibility with high-performance brake systems. This wheel combines championship rally pedigree with street-ready toughness and style.

## Description

The MR502 Rally VT-Spec is the wheel that started our venture into rally racing. Developed as a low-offset 15” gravel wheel for their new car, Subaru Rally Team USA’s David Higgins and Craig Drew won a 2014 Rally America Championship on this exact wheel. Unnecessary weight has been cut out due to strategically placed pockets in low-stress points around the wheel, including the 'I-Beam' inner-lip technology. Matte black paint and steel lug nut inserts come standard on the VT-Spec providing a hardened clamping surface able to withstand rigorous race conditions. The 502 comes in at 19.4 lbs with a stout 2,100lb load rating. With a +15mm offset, 5x100 and 5x114.3 bolt patterns, fitment is ideal for Subaru and Mitsubishi vehicles.

Review: Been on the car 7 years still great shape and look sharp!
Review: I purchased the Method Racing rims for my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. I coupled the rims with 225/70/15 General Grabber AT 2 tires. They look great and I get a lot of compliments because of the rim and tire selection I run. I also purchased orange lug nuts to match the paint of my car and they fit in the rims very well also. These rims were priced fairly and are a great value.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 4 November 2017*

Using these on my 2015 Subaru crosstrek. I decided to downsize wheels in order to have more all terrain tire options. They have plenty of room between the brake caliper and barrel to allow sticky weights for balancing. I've put around 7k miles on them. No issues with fitment or design and I don't forsee any arising. You will probably need spline drive type lug nuts for these wheels due to the small diameter lug holes. Be sure to check the lug nut torque frequently after installation due to the steel lug nut seats. They take a while to settle in properly, even after following the manufacturers instructions. After about 100 miles or so they seemed to find their happy place and stay tightened properly. Tire pressure monitoring modules swapped right over with new valve stems. These are marketed as race wheels so they do not have center caps. It's possible to retrofit caps on them but I've personally not found the need to.
