Method 704 vs 705 Bead Grip Wheels: Matte Black or Titanium

Two Bead Grip wheels, two distinct looks

The Method 704 and 705 share Bead Grip Technology, but they differ in spoke design, finish, and the bolt patterns listed in the supplied catalog. The 704 comes in Matte Black with a timeless 12-spoke design. The 705 comes in Titanium with a bold split 5-spoke, 10-windowed design. Both are built for off-road enthusiasts tackling tough trails, rough deserts, or overland adventures.

Your choice comes down to styling preference and whether a listed bolt pattern matches your vehicle. The supplied records show only one 704 variant (17x8.5, 6x135) and three 705 variants (17x8.5 in 5x5, 5x150, and 6x5.5). That difference in available fitments may decide the comparison before finish or spoke count enters the picture.

Spoke design and finish: classic black vs bold titanium

• Method 704 – Matte Black: 12-spoke design described as timeless, intended to complement any vehicle’s style. Matte Black offers a subdued, low-gloss look.
• Method 705 – Titanium: Split 5-spoke, 10-windowed design described as bold, with adventure and exploration in mind. Titanium finish provides a lighter metallic tone.

Bead Grip: what it changes when you air down

Both wheels use Bead Grip Technology, which allows tire deflation to pressures that previously would have required beadlock wheels to prevent debeading. Lowering tire inflation pressure off-road increases the tire’s contact patch for better traction on loose surfaces and can improve ride comfort by reducing the tire’s effective spring rate.

The supplied information does not include specific minimum pressure ratings, load limits, or vehicle compatibility beyond the listed bolt patterns. Treat those omissions as a reason to confirm fitment and safe operating pressures with the manufacturer or a qualified installer before ordering.

Fitment evidence from the catalog

• 704 - Markdown | Matte Black: Available variant: 17x8.5 | 6x135 | 0/4.75" (MR70478516500). This is the only 704 fitment shown in the supplied record, so 6x135 vehicles have a direct match while others may need to check further.

  

• 705 | Titanium: Available variants include 17x8.5 | 5x5 | 0/4.75" (MR70578550800), 17x8.5 | 5x150 | 35/6.2" (MR70578558835), and 17x8.5 | 6x5.5 | 0/4.75" (MR70578560800). The 705 covers three common bolt patterns in the supplied data, giving more fitment options than the single 704 variant listed.

  

Price and value in the supplied catalog

The catalog lists the 704 at USD 226.92 (comparison price USD 366.00) and the 705 at USD 263.52 (comparison price USD 366.00). Both share the same comparison price, so the 704 appears as the lower-cost option in this record. Price alone should not override fitment: a wheel that does not match your bolt pattern is not a savings at any price.

How to choose between the 704 and 705

• Start with bolt pattern: If your vehicle is 6x135, the 704 is a direct catalog match. If it is 5x5, 5x150, or 6x5.5, the 705 has a listed variant. Other patterns are not confirmed in the supplied evidence.
• Decide on finish and spoke style: Matte Black with 12 spokes (704) reads understated; Titanium with a split 5-spoke, 10-window design (705) reads bolder. Neither finish is functionally superior based on the supplied facts.
• Weigh offset and spacing: The 704 variant lists 0/4.75" offset/spacing. The 705 offers 0/4.75" on two variants and 35/6.2" on the 5x150 variant. Confirm which offset suits your vehicle before ordering.
• Confirm what the catalog does not state: Load ratings, backspacing, center bore, and vehicle-specific compatibility are not included in the supplied records. Ask the manufacturer or a qualified fitter to verify before purchase.
