The Method Race Wheels 701 Bead Grip Wheel in Bahia Blue is purpose-built for off-road and overland enthusiasts who demand reliable tyre security at low pressures, rugged construction, and a distinctive look. Featuring Method's patented Bead Grip® technology, this wheel allows you to safely air down tyres for increased traction and comfort on challenging terrain—without the complexity of traditional beadlock wheels.
This wheel is ideal for drivers who regularly tackle sand, mud, rocks, or remote trails and need the confidence to lower tyre pressures for maximum grip. It's also suited for overland builds and daily-driven 4x4s seeking a blend of performance, durability, and a bold Bahia Blue finish. If you want a wheel that stands out visually while delivering practical off-road benefits, the 701 Bead Grip is a strong contender.
The 701 Bead Grip Wheel is available in multiple sizes, bolt patterns, offsets, and centre bore options to suit a wide range of popular 4x4s, SUVs, and trucks. Common fitments include:
Always confirm your vehicle's required size, bolt pattern, offset, and centre bore before ordering. If you are unsure, consult your vehicle handbook or contact us for guidance. This ensures optimal fit, safety, and performance for your build.
The 701 Bead Grip Wheel is designed for straightforward installation using standard tyre mounting equipment. Snap-in centre caps are included (push-through caps for 8-lug applications). For best results, always use wheels and tyres that match your vehicle's specifications. Routine inspection and cleaning are recommended after off-road use to preserve the Bahia Blue finish and ensure ongoing performance.
Off-roaders often need to lower tyre pressures for better traction, but this increases the risk of the tyre debeading from the rim. The 701 Bead Grip Wheel solves this by using patented bead engagement ridges, providing extra security at low pressures without the hassle of beadlock wheels. This lets you explore rough terrain with confidence and focus on the adventure, not tyre failures.
