The Method Race Wheels 701 Bead Grip is an innovative off-road wheel engineered specifically for overland and off-road enthusiasts who demand maximum traction and durability. Featuring Method's patented Bead Grip technology, this wheel allows you to safely deflate your tires to extremely low pressures without the complexity of traditional beadlock wheels, preventing tire debeading even in the most demanding terrain.
Patented Bead Grip Technology:
The 701's revolutionary Bead Grip design engages the tire bead to maintain secure mounting at low tire pressures, enabling you to air down for increased traction on sand, mud, rocks, and other loose surfaces. Combined with an aggressive safety hump on the bead seats, this wheel provides confidence when running the low pressures needed for optimal off-road performance and ride comfort.
Built for Strength and Durability:
- Constructed from solid A356 aluminum alloy with T6 heat treatment for exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
- Reinforced inner lip design borrowed from Method's race wheel lineup increases impact resistance
- Impressive 2,650 lbs load rating handles heavy trucks and fully loaded overland rigs
- Strategic valve stem placement protects against trail damage
- Hub-centric design for precise fitment and reduced vibration
Design and Finish:
The classic 8-window spoke design features a debossed METHOD logo on the wheel face with a durable matte black finish. Includes a snap-in center cap with embossed METHOD Bead Grip logo. The aggressive styling complements lifted trucks and SUVs while the functional design delivers real-world performance benefits.
