Method MR702 Method Bronze Wheel 17x8.5 5x150 0mm- METH-MR70278558900

Method Race Wheels is proud to announce the release of the all-new Method 702. The Method 702 comes as the second installment in the Trail Series which features our patented Bead Grip Technology.

Bead Grip technology aims to be the bridge between a conventional street wheel and a beadlock, which is often not legal for highway use. Reducing air pressure in the tire increases traction and ride quality while on the trail. The ability to safely run lower pressures without having to worry about the tire de-beading along with DOT approval will undoubtedly be a bonus to off road enthusiasts.

To really see what this new technology is made of, we lab tested Method wheels with conventional tire bead seats against Method 702 Trail Series wheels with integrated Bead Grip Technology. Known as the Tubeless Tire Bead Unseat Resistance Test by the U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and utilized the BF Goodrich 285/70/17 and Toyo Tires 39x13.5x17. With the tire mounted to the wheel and set to 10psi, the wheel and tire is secured horizontally while a fixed arm comes down and applies force to the tire sidewall until there is a loss of air pressure.

Taking a styling cue from its predecessor, the Method 702 gets away from the faux-beadlock look. A split five spoke design keeps things clean. Subtle touches like the debossed Method on the lip, the channel around the wheel face and the deep bolt circle bowl add depth and character. The Method 702 includes the same flat snap-in cap found on the Method 701.
