Lighter. Stronger. Faster.... not just a catchy tag line used in marketing Method Race Wheels, but a deep rooted philosophy that is used to make Method products work better in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. These wheels are made of premium materials, sculptured to exacting specifications. The team of engineers at Method Race Wheels challenges the limits of conventional thinking by using the latest technology to design and engineer their products. Digital rendering and Finite Element Analysis ensure that their products will meet or exceed your performance criteria. The 701-HD Bead Grip wheel was designed to be the perfect wheel for overland enthusiasts who are hauling a little extra. This Heavy Duty (HD) wheel boasts a load rating of 4,500 lbs. for maximum payload. The Bead Grip technology allows deflation of tires down to pressures that previously would have required beadlock wheels to make sure tires didn’t debead. It’s advantageous to reduce tire inflation pressure while off-roading to increase a tire’s contact patch surface area for better traction on loose surfaces as well as improve ride comfort by effectively reducing the spring rate of the tire. The valve was strategically placed for extra protection in harsh riding environments. Cast, forged, or spun, Method Race Wheels set the standard for fit and function. Race wheels that are proven by the world's best testers; professional drivers. Street wheels that have incorporated racing technologies to create a product that will perform flawlessly.

About Method Race Wheels

Method Race Wheels motto is œlighter, stronger, faster. This sounds like a catchy tagline, but is that all its about? Ultimately, its your vehicles responsibility to turn your wheel and tire combo to get your 8,000lbs.+ truck rolling down the road. As the weight of the wheel and tire package increases, it takes additional power to move that mass. Thus, the lighter you can make a wheel and tire package, the faster, or more efficient your truck will be. That said, unless you have strength, theres no point in a light wheel as utter catastrophe can occur. Fortunately, Methos Race Wheels has a sharp focus on weight reduction while maintaining or increasing strength, alleviating concerns over safety, all netting a better overall product.

METHOD RACE WHEELS

The next thing to address is the name: Method Race Wheels. Does this mean that these wheels are intended for racing applications? Well, maybe in the early days of Method, but that is long gone. The majority of Method Race Wheels catalog are for street vehicle, but the name pays homage to the engineering put into every wheel design that results in a high performance package at ever corner.

METHOD OFF ROAD WHEELS

The next thing to discuss would be the offroad styling of their wheels. Are Method wheels specifically designed for offroad use? No way! While MRW does offer a lineup of legitimate bead lock wheels, the majority of their styles featuring some kind of bolt at the wheels lip (or bead), these are merely for styling, sometimes called a simulated bead lock. Now, what Method does realize is that many of us are weekend warriors. We either commute to work in our trucks all week, or we work our trucks all week, but then on the weekends we like to hit some offroad trails. In these instances, we may air down our tires for better traction. Method has us covered with their unique Bead Grip technology that ensures a better wheel to tire seal even at lower air pressures.

WHEEL OFFSET EXPLAINED
  • Offset: Measured from center line of wheel to mounting surface
  • Backspace: Measures from inner lip of wheel to mounting surface
  • Positive Offset: Outside center line of the wheel. This brings the wheel in towards the center of the vehicle. Typically found on vehicles that are stock, leveled or lifted up to 3
  • Negative Offset: Inside center line of the wheel. This pushes the wheel out away from center of the vehicle. Typically found on vehicles lifted over 3
