A new wheel brand has come into town and an off-roading wheel and tire expert company has been nominated as their distributor on the country. Wheel Gallery Inc. has been named as official distributor of Method Race Wheels® in the Philippines.
In line with the launch of Method Race Wheels® into the Philippine market, Wheel Gallery gets first dibs on introducing the MR107 Bead Grip® wheel to the public. The same wheel used on the factory backed Toyota Gazoo Racing HiLux in the Dakar Rally, the MR107 Bead Grip® is a culmination of Method Wheels’ years of off-roading experience and technological know-how in surviving the harshest driving conditions. It boasts a load rating up to 4,000 lbs.

Method Race Wheels® leadership actively participates in off-road racing events while working with some of the best motorsports teams and drivers in the world to push the limits of their products. The application of their race proven R&D knowledge separates them from all other wheel companies in the marketplace. The motto of Method Race Wheels is embodied in each product they develop, for racing or everyday use.
Lighter. Stronger. Faster.®
“Wheel Gallery has proven to be an automotive aftermarket leader in the Philippines and we are excited to partner with a well-known and established brand to bring our industry-leading products to market. Our commitment to customer experience, product quality and persistent innovation will be represented well through our new partner,” says Matt Harris, Global Sales Director for Method Race Wheels. “We also look forward to visiting the Philippines soon to explore trails with the off-road community,” he adds.
Innovation is one of the driving forces behind Method Race Wheels® and their latest breakthrough can be found in their recently patented Bead Grip® Technology. This technology was developed from the demands of off-road racing to hold tires securely in place despite requiring lower tire pressure for the gain of additional traction.
Method Race Wheels® with Bead Grip® have been tested to hold tires securely in place with as little as 10 psi all without the use of a mechanical beadlock ring, a first in automotive wheel engineering. Bead Grip’s reduced weight over a traditional beadlock wheel allows for less strain on vehicle drivetrain while simultaneously unleashing more available horsepower to the driver. Bead Grip® products by Method Race Wheels® are also safe for on-road vehicles, a departure from traditional beadlock wheels which are off-road use only and require regular maintenance.
Method Race Wheels® will be available at Concept One Wheels located at 318 Santolan Road, San Juan and their Authorized Dealers.
