BEAD SEATS Years of evolving our proprietary bead seat designs has expanded Method’s race proven technologies to a wider range of enthusiast and professional applications to deliver the highest level of performance possible. Refining the amount of material in specific failure prone areas has allowed Method wheels to achieve superior race results.

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES All proprietary designed Method beadlock rings are forged. They start from a solid block of 6061 billet aluminum being shaped by extreme pressure, then heat-treated to a T6 standard for ultimate tensile strength. This process produces a superior alloy that is both stronger and lighter than conventional manufacturing processes.

METHOD STANDARD Standard bead seats on Method wheels goes far beyond industry standards with strategic designs that reinforce both the outer and inner lips areas to provide extreme strength and durability at the most failure prone points.

LARGE MACHINED SMOOTH RADIUS IN THE BEAD FLANGE

A large machined smooth radius in the bead flange aids in outer bead tire mounting and eliminates any possibilities of harmful cuts to the tire.

BEAD GRIP Patented 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 staying highway legal — will undoubtedly be a bonus to off-road enthusiasts.

BEADLOCK Beadlock wheels are different from Method’s Standard and Bead Grip® wheels in that they rely on clamping force generated by the tightening of a set of bolts that thread into the wheel and apply force to the Beadlock ring which mechanically clamps and seals the tire’s outer bead to the wheel.
