    Anybody else see these? I ordered a set, should be in late June.

    Method Race Wheels 701
    [​IMG]

    Too often, a top-quality, good-looking wheel that’s race-proven around the globe is hard to find. Method Race Wheels debuted its new 701 wheel at Overland Expo. A new wheel isn’t that exciting, but the 701 is no ordinary wheel.

    [​IMG]

    The Method Race 701 wheel is street legal and allows you to run extremely low air pressures for optimal off-road traction. The wheel has some special shapes that Method calls “bead grip technology.” These shapes create a bead lock wheel, without the traditional street-illegal bead lock design.

    The 701s will cost $230 each and will be available in the fall in 16- and 17-inch options for a wide range of vehicles.

    Honestly I was ready to pull the trigger on some Ray 10s. Once I saw the new SCS inventory refresh didn't include them I started looking around.
    I figure if I have to wait 2 more months, I might as well get some new tech built in. At least I know Method will have them in stock and I have a decent chance of actually getting my hands on them.

    Anyone happen to get these yet? I know they are saying late summer, but was just curious. Definitely like the minimalist non-fake-beadlock style. Also curious about the weight of each wheel.

    I just ordered a set of the Method 701's. Lets see how long they take to come in. Also ordered a set of Shrock Works rock sliders. They will probably both take 8 weeks. :)

    Hail,
    did you order straight from Method? Any updates on arrival times?
    Last time I spoke they said they were "on the boat".

    I ordered from VividRacing.com. Believe it or not, 5 minutes ago I got my FedEx ship alert for delivery this Friday.

    This is the exact model I got in Matte Black:
    https://www.vividracing.com/method-mr701-trail-series-matte-black-17x85-6x55-0mm-p-152407907.html
    17X8.5 | 6X5.5 | 0/4.75" Model: MR70178560500 (To be mated with an Icon Stage 3 setup.)

    Nice looking, new tech wheel. What's up with that lame offset/ BS? 4.75? I'd like these a lot more if it didn't force youto run spacers. 4.5" still seems a bit tucked 4" would be better. Or at least they could offer options.

    Otherwise, I really like what they offer in the way of a bead lock sim, and how they look.

    Looks like 50mm offset is the only other option.

    I definitely got my hopes up. Even though I almost immediately got my tracking numbers which showed a deliver date of today (8/3), they still just show "label created" with zero updates. So nothing has moved at all.

    Just spoke to Method again today (8/6). They said they still don't have any to ship and neither do any vendors. Looking at mid-september.

    Darn.

    I was hoping these would come in a 4” or 3.5” backspace option.
