Short Product Summary
The Method Race Wheels MR705 Bead Grip is a 17x8.5 alloy wheel in Matte Black, using Method's patented Bead Grip technology to help the tyre stay seated when you air down for rock crawling or slow technical trails. It's built from A356 aluminium, heat-treated for strength. This listing is the 5x127 bolt pattern, 0mm offset.
Why This Product
Rock crawling and slow technical trails go better with lower tyre pressures, but the tyre bead still has to stay seated on the rim. The MR705's patented Bead Grip technology improves bead retention at lower pressures, so you can air down for grip with more confidence.
Key Features
- Patented Bead Grip technology – improves tyre bead retention on rocky, low-pressure trails
- Not a beadlock – a bead retention design rather than beadlock hardware
- Corrosion-resistant finish – built for long-lasting durability on harsh trails
- 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
- Rock crawlers and slow-trail drivers who want extra help keeping the tyre bead seated at low pressure
- 4x4 owners running the 5x127 bolt pattern in the 0mm offset this listing covers
- Drivers who don't want beadlocks but still want better bead retention at lower pressures

- Only the 5x127 bolt pattern, 0mm offset, is sold on this page — send through your vehicle details so we can confirm it's the right fitment
- Bead Grip is Method's bead retention technology, not a beadlock — ask us about safe pressures for your tyres and how you drive
- We don't publish a vehicle-by-vehicle fitment list for this wheel, so tell us your vehicle's year, make and model up front
