Method Wheels MR701 HD 18x9 +18mm Offset 8x6.5 Matte Black Wheel, Part Number MR70189080518H

The 701-HD Bead Grip® wheel was designed to be the perfect wheel for overland enthusiasts who are hauling a little extra. This Heavy Duty (HD) wheel boasts a load rating of 4,500 lbs. for maximum payload. The Bead Grip® technology allows deflation of tires down to pressures that previously would have required beadlock wheels to make sure tires didn't debead. It's advantageous to reduce tire inflation pressure while off-roading to increase a tire's contact patch surface area for better traction on loose surfaces as well as improve ride comfort by effectively reducing the spring rate of the tire. The valve was strategically placed for extra protection in harsh riding environments.

• Aggressive safety hump on bead seats further to prevent debeading
• Reinforced inner lip taken from MRW race wheel increases strength
• Industry best lifetime manufacturer's structural warranty
• Classic 8 window design with debossed Method logo on face
• Solid A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatement construction
• Push through center cap with embossed Method logo

The Method Wheels MR701 HD 701 Bead Grip wheel is engineered for overland enthusiasts and heavy-duty off-road applications where increased payload capacity and dependable performance are essential. With a 4,500-pound load rating, this cast A356 aluminum wheel with T6 heat treatment provides a strong foundation for trucks and SUVs carrying additional equipment, passengers, or recovery gear. Its matte black finish and classic eight-window design deliver a purposeful appearance, while the debossed Method logo adds a distinctive detail to the face.
The integrated Bead Grip technology helps maintain tire bead retention at reduced air pressures, supporting improved traction and ride comfort on loose or uneven terrain without requiring a traditional beadlock wheel. Lower tire pressure can increase the tire’s contact patch and effectively reduce the tire’s spring rate, helping the vehicle conform to challenging surfaces. An aggressive safety hump on the bead seats adds another layer of protection against debeading, while the reinforced inner lip design is derived from Method’s race wheel construction for enhanced strength in demanding environments.
This Method Wheels MR701 HD wheel features an 18-inch diameter, 9-inch width, +18mm offset, and an 8x6.5-inch bolt pattern with a 130.81mm hub bore. The valve stem is strategically positioned for added protection during harsh off-road use, and the wheel includes a push-through center cap embossed with the Method logo. Built for capable trucks and overland vehicles, the MR701 HD combines practical off-road engineering with a durable, recognizable design and is backed by an industry-leading lifetime manufacturer’s structural warranty.
