Method Race Wheels MR701 Bead Grip Wheel — 17x7.5 Matte Black

Short Product Summary

The Method Race Wheels MR701 Bead Grip is a 17x7.5 alloy wheel in Matte Black, built around Method's patented Bead Grip technology for better tyre retention at lower pressures. It suits overlanders and touring 4x4s that air down for sand, mud or rock. This listing is the 6x130 bolt pattern, +50mm offset only.

Why This Product

Airing down improves traction on loose ground and softens the ride, but at low pressure the tyre bead still has to stay seated on the rim. The MR701's patented Bead Grip technology improves bead retention, so you can run lower pressures on sand, mud and rock with more confidence.

Key Features

• Patented Bead Grip technology – improves tyre bead retention when you air down
• Not a beadlock – a bead retention design rather than beadlock hardware
• Bold, modern design – a rugged look for touring and expedition builds
• Matte Black finish – a low-sheen coating suited to off-road builds
• A356 aluminium, T6 heat-treated – a heat-treated aluminium build for strength

Ideal For

• Overlanders who air down often and want a lip designed to help the tyre stay seated as pressure drops
• Drivers who don't want beadlocks but still want better bead retention at lower pressures
• Touring and expedition builds running the 6x130 bolt pattern this listing covers
