Method Race Wheels 701 Bead Grip Matte Black Wheel for Off-Road and Overland Builds

How the Method 701 Bead Grip Matte Black Wheel Solves Off-Road Challenges

The Method Race Wheels 701 Bead Grip Matte Black Wheel is engineered for off-road and overland drivers who demand reliable performance across rugged terrain. Its patented Bead Grip® technology allows you to safely air down tyres for maximum traction—without the risk of debeading that can sideline a trip. This wheel is purpose-built for 4x4s and SUVs tackling rocky trails, sand, and remote tracks where grip and durability are critical.

Fitment, Sizing, and Buyer Guidance

The 701 Bead Grip Matte Black is available in a range of diameters, widths, bolt patterns, and offsets to suit popular 4WD platforms. Common fitments include 17x8.5" and 18x9" sizes with 6x139.7, 5x127, and 6x135 bolt patterns, among others. This SKU is finished in a robust matte black, offering a stealth look that complements modern off-road builds.

Who should buy this wheel? The 701 Bead Grip is ideal for:

Overland enthusiasts seeking to air down for traction without beadlock wheels
4x4 owners upgrading for strength, reliability, and aggressive looks
Expedition vehicles needing high load ratings and proven durability
Drivers who want a wheel compatible with TPMS and OE hardware

Before purchase, confirm your vehicle’s required diameter, width, bolt pattern, and offset. If unsure, consult your installer or contact us for fitment advice. This wheel is not universal—correct fitment is essential for safety and performance.

What Sets the 701 Bead Grip Matte Black Apart

Unlike generic off-road wheels, the 701 Bead Grip Matte Black stands out with:

Patented Bead Grip® grooves for tyre security at low pressures
Classic 8-window design with debossed METHOD branding
Reinforced inner lip for impact resistance—adapted from Method’s race wheels
Matte black finish for understated, modern style
High load ratings (2650–3640 lbs) for heavy builds and gear
Snap-in or push-through centre cap options for different lug applications

This SKU is specifically the matte black variant—other finishes and sizes are available separately. The 701 Bead Grip is not a beadlock wheel, but its technology allows similar off-road benefits without the legal or maintenance complications of true beadlocks.

The Method 701 Bead Grip Matte Black is designed for direct fitment on many popular 4WDs and SUVs. Hub-centric fitments minimise vibration and ensure a secure mount.

Professional mounting and balancing are recommended for best results.

This wheel is produced in multiple diameters (such as 17" and 18"), widths, and bolt patterns (including 6x139.7, 5x127, and 6x135). Check your vehicle’s requirements or contact us for detailed fitment options.
