Method 701's with bead lock matte black

Is anyone currently utilizing the Method 701s rims with internal bead locks? How well do these internal bead locks perform, or are they merely a gimmick? Additionally, does anyone have any visual representations or real pictures of them installed? Considering these for my inaugural modification of my new 4Runner. (Ice Cap ORP with blacked-out logos).

Moreover, I'm leaning towards Method due to the discounts I can access — any recommendations for other visually appealing wheel models from their lineup?

Thanks!

 

I have 703s (same idea) and definitely recommend. I usually wheel at around 9-10 psi loose rock and 12 in snow

 

Just had them installed, so I can’t comment on functionality. But here is a pic.

 

You mean Method's "Bead Grip"?

They're not bead locks but the guys that I wheel with love them. If you plan on airing down under 14-15 psi often they're worth it imo.
Again, not as good as real bead locks... but they're DOT approved and work incredibly well.

I have a set of 701’s. No issues over the last 18 months and get a lot of compliments on them. I can’t say if they are gimmicky or not. I put them through a lot both through deep snow and off-roading. Also know— depending your tire size, it definitely gives your tire a wider stance. I chose them for the over all width and to be safe back country, camping, etc.
Another benefit is that they are a bit lighter wheel construction than some others with the same durability.

I have some photos in my media gallery

 

Whats your setup? Looks great

I have these on my Superduty. Haven't air'd down yet but they look and ride fantastic.
