Method Race Wheels 708 Bead Grip Wheel – Gloss Black Overview
The Method Race Wheels 708 Bead Grip Wheel in Gloss Black is engineered for off-road and overland enthusiasts who demand a blend of rugged capability and modern styling. Featuring Method’s patented Bead Grip® technology, this wheel is designed to provide superior tyre retention and durability for 4x4, SUV, and truck applications. The 708’s classic six-spoke design, reinforced construction, and motorsport-inspired details make it a standout choice for those upgrading their vehicle for challenging terrain and adventure travel.
How the Method 708 Bead Grip Wheel Performs
Running lower tyre pressures is essential for maximising traction on sand, mud, and rocky trails. The Method 708 Bead Grip Wheel addresses the risk of tyre de-beading with patented grooves on both bead seats, locking the tyre bead in place under extreme side loads. This allows you to air down with confidence—without the weight or complexity of traditional beadlock wheels—while remaining fully street legal. The aggressive safety hump and reinforced inner lip further increase security and strength, making this wheel ideal for demanding off-road use and expedition builds.
