Method Race Wheels MR703 Bead Grip Wheel — 17x8.5 Matte Black

Short Product Summary

The Method Race Wheels MR703 Bead Grip is a 17x8.5 alloy wheel in Matte Black, combining a 12-window face with Method's patented Bead Grip technology. It suits overlanders and touring 4x4s that air down for sand, mud or rock. This listing covers the 6x139.7 bolt pattern, in 0mm or +35mm offset.

Why This Product

Airing down on sand, mud and rock adds traction and comfort, but the tyre bead needs to stay seated at those lower pressures. The MR703 pairs Method's patented Bead Grip technology with a 12-window face and dual debossed METHOD logos, and stays practical for everyday driving.

Key Features

• 12-window wheel face – Method's well-known multi-window design
• Dual debossed METHOD logos – branding worked into the wheel face
• Patented Bead Grip technology – lets tyres run lower pressures that would traditionally call for beadlock wheels
• Not a beadlock – a bead retention design that stays practical for everyday driving
• A356 aluminium, T6 heat-treated – a heat-treated aluminium build for strength
• Matte Black finish – a low-sheen coating suited to off-road builds

Ideal For

• Overlanders who air down often and want Bead Grip technology with Method's 12-window look
• 4x4 owners running the 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a choice of 0mm or +35mm offset on this listing
• Drivers who don't want beadlocks but still want better bead retention at lower pressures
