Method Race Wheels With Bead Grip Technology - Is It Hype

[@ffpulley77]

Thanks for the video... the shot where you were off camber and the tire folded in and didn’t lose its bead sold it for me. Ordering a set of 703s in matte black. Keep the videos coming🤙🏼

[@RogueOverland]

Glad it helped you! Thanks for watching.

[@sethmarion2833]

Just an FYI for everyone worried about the scratches. Method has a lifetime warranty on any structural damage to the rim and a 2 year warranty on the finish.

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks!

[@MrJamesLuz]

Love the slow mo and the scratches! Shows that you guys don’t have pavement queens!

[@RogueOverland]

MrJamesLuz Thank you! Definitely no pavement queens in our garage.

[@brawldawg8729]

Indeed. That is the best use of a good camera to add visual support for your explanation, whereas most KZbin personalities will simply talk ad nauseum to make a point. Some people are visual learners (I live with one) and it can be challenging to verbally articulate in a manner that they understand. Well done, sir!

[@veganpotterthevegan]

Plenty of people scratch their cars, only driving on pavement😂

I just got the new 705's for my tacoma 2 weeks ago. A bit bummed they only came in 17" but oh well. Haven't aired down on the trail with them yet but looking forward to it! (that part where the tire folded in the rut gave me chills haha)

[@RogueOverland]

Congratulations‼️

[@julion.8709]

Saw you guys at the gas station filling up that day! We pulled out right in front of you guys. No wheeling for us that day but we did pull into Lovell for some hiking. Awesome wheels!

[@rustishackleford3354]

Just ordered these. I wanted the 703 but the bronze wasn't in stock. I hope they don't look weird cus I won't be able to use the center caps on my 80 series land cruiser.

[@RogueOverland]

Congratulations! We think you will like them.

[@lanix17]

Wish they had the 312s with bead grip. The black trim would hide the scratches well.

[@RogueOverland]

True. Thanks for watching!

[@audaciouscitizen.9313]

Method 106’s are bead locks and nearly identical to 312’s.

[@flameco33]

Great video guys! I just ordered these wheels and can’t wait to get em on!

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks! You will live them!

[@emptypocketsoffroad]

Great video! Answered some questions I had!

[@RogueOverland]

Happy to hear the video was helpful!

[@skeetermcswagger0U812]

It's cool that they finally came out with this design because the trick I would use was I would use a wire wheel to to scuff the bead area on the rim all the way around it's circumference in the direction of rotation which in theory is the same thing they have done with this design but in a more aggressive manner. The only downfall I see is if the tire has to be removed from the rim after having several several 1000 miles on it to do a proper patch repair is that it might damage the rubber covering the bead cable when removing the tire from the bead.😖💁‍♂️

[@RogueOverland]

Thanks for the information! That’s a cool DYI idea.

[@Alexhippyyy]

It does damage the tire, I had a tire shop struggle for an hour and a half tryna remove one tire off one of these bead grip wheels, it almost works “too well”. I call method and they said well just keep trying before the tire shop finally gave up and said can’t do it won’t do it go somewhere else

What size wheels were these and what size tire? I noticed that max width they are making is 8.5 it looks like. If those are 12.5 wide tires.... .. They look awesome

[@RogueOverland]

They are 12.5!

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@RogueOverland In another comment you said 285/75r16, that size width is rated at 11.2 to 11.6 inches on a 8 inch wide wheel, the wheel width you are using.

[@RogueOverland]

Matte Bronze as I recall.

[@kingdomoverlanding]

That is crazy low psi!!!! Can't wait to test mine out , just picked them up last week!! Rocking a Ford Expedition

[@RogueOverland]

Very cool! Such a cool rig you have.

[@RCGJR_]

I’m a bit confused (probably just the lighting) but is it a dark matte bronze or close to gold?

[@RogueOverland]

More of a gold color in our opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@RCGJR_]

@@RogueOverland yeah.. that’s what i thought, method race are some good wheels but they need to step up their “bronze” colour.

[@timparkin485]

Great video!!! Seriously considering these for my build, trying to keep the rotating mass down. Currently have steel beadlocks, and these would loose me plenty weight. Do you think a 22mm bead would fit on (Maxxis Treps). Thanks!

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you! We think that question would be best directed to Method Wheels as we don't want to give you incorrect info.

[@dirf554]

Are these overkill for beach driving?

[@RogueOverland]

It really comes down to how low you are going to run the pressure. In hard packed sand you can get away with higher pressure but in really soft sand we will often run 8-10 PSI. It also depends on how much side to side pressure will be on the tire. The lower the air pressure and the more side to side force on the tire (trying to push it off the bead) then the more helpful these wheels should be.

[@nickheindl1822]

Are you running wheel spacers? I have a 96 limited and I want my tires flush with the flares If not a little farther out.

[@RogueOverland]

1.25” spidertrax spacers.

[@raulserna3806]

are these rims DOT approved? they look nice and I would like a set.

[@RogueOverland]

They should but best to check with Method.

[@kenm5997]

Can method race wheels 4 lug go on dune buggies or Sandro's

[@RogueOverland]

If the bolt pattern is correct it should work but best to check with a method sales rep.

[@paulthompson661]

Hey, can someone please help me my wheels I got the same ones came with these plastic rings do I have to install those?

[@RogueOverland]

Best to call the manufacturer to confirm but if the are the plastic rings that go by the hub then to our knowledge you do have to install them.

[@kyledanger45]

what size are the tires?

[@RogueOverland]

315/75/16

[@NigelNaughton]

Pretty sweet. Why did it look like it was so hard to balance? That's a lot of weights!

[@RogueOverland]

Thank you for the comment! He didn't seem to have an issue and we haven't noticed any vibrations. We did mount an old-ish set of tires to the wheels so that may be a contributing factor.

[@tomrenken625]

Waiting for 703s w 3.5BackSpace...missed the only real Con= 700series each only come in one BS. Should not need a spacer to have a choice🤔

None yet. Thanks for watching.

[@chuckchuckles8281]

Beautiful wheels!

[@RogueOverland]

Agreed! Thanks for watching.

[@dcd6115]

I guess this is where a fake beadlock ring shines. Instead of destroying those brand new wheels, you just replace the beadlock ring. Looks like all the damage occurred right where a ring would have been positioned. I'm not saying the dings are bad per se, I know some people like to show off their battle scars. But if that's the damage after just one outing, I'd sure love to see what those pretty bronze wheels look like in 1 year. Probably won't be so bronze anymore.

[@RogueOverland]

Good point. Not a bad idea!

[@Pengowirr]

Agreed, they look beautiful but if you're doing any serious rock crawling these wheels will be destroyed in just a few trips.

[@gutteherr]

Eh, if you have the money to spend, why not. But I think they're hype. I run 5 psi full time on my 31s, never lost a bead or had a leak. Rocking 16x7 steelies on my jku.

[@benl2681]

@@RogueOverland It would be interesting to have the wheels checked on the balancer before the tires, new or old, are mounted. That would be the real test of how true and balance they are. Then trow the tires on and go from there. Super important to use the right cone as well. Old off road tires with chunk missing from use and abuse won't ever be perfectly balanced - they aren't race track tires right!
