Method MR703 17x8.5 6X5.5 or 6x139.7 CB Matte Black Wheel

Product Overview

The Method MR703 is a purpose-built off-road wheel designed for trucks and SUVs that see real use, not just pavement. Built from solid A356 aluminum and reinforced using Method Race Wheels’ proven race-wheel engineering, the MR703 combines strength, smart bead retention technology, and a timeless 12-window design that works on both aggressive and clean builds.

What sets the MR703 apart is Method’s patented Bead Grip® technology, which improves tire retention at low air pressures without the complexity or maintenance of a true beadlock wheel. This makes it ideal for off-road driving, overlanding, and daily-driven trucks that still need dependable performance off pavement.

Method Bead Grip® Technology Explained

The MR703 features patented Bead Grip® technology, which mechanically engages the tire bead to increase grip at lower tire pressures. This helps reduce the chance of debeading during off-road use while maintaining the simplicity of a traditional wheel design.

Unlike beadlock wheels, Bead Grip® wheels require no special hardware, no re-torquing, and no extra maintenance, making them ideal for both trail and daily driving.
