Method Race Wheels MR70166568590 701 Bead Grip 16x6.5 Matte Black Aluminum Wheel 6x180mm

The Method Race Wheels 701 Bead Grip is an engineered aluminum wheel designed specifically for overland and off-road enthusiasts who need reliable performance at low tire pressures. This 16x6.5 inch wheel features Method's patented Bead Grip technology, which securely engages the tire bead to prevent debeading when running significantly deflated tires—eliminating the need for traditional beadlock wheels in many situations.

Key Features:

• Patented Bead Grip technology allows safe tire deflation to extremely low pressures for maximum traction on loose terrain
• Solid A356 aluminum construction with T6 heat treatment for optimal strength-to-weight ratio
• Aggressive safety hump on bead seats provides additional debeading protection
• Reinforced inner lip design borrowed from Method's race wheel lineup increases impact resistance
• Classic 8-window design with debossed METHOD logo
• Protected valve stem placement for harsh off-road environments
• Hub-centric fitment ensures proper centering and reduces vibration
• Snap-in center cap with embossed METHOD Bead Grip logo included

Lowering tire pressure while off-roading increases the tire's contact patch for improved traction on sand, mud, and rocky terrain while also enhancing ride comfort by reducing the tire's effective spring rate. The 701 Bead Grip makes this technique safer and more accessible without the maintenance requirements of traditional beadlock wheels. Ideal for overland vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks with 6x180mm bolt patterns. Sold individually.
