WHEEL Gallery Inc., the industry expert for off-road wheels and tires, was recently named the official distributor of Method Race Wheels in the Philippines. Likewise, the partnership made the off-road wheels distributor the brand’s first international retailer of MR107 Bead Grip wheel.
The MR107 Bead Grip wheel is the same wheel used on the factory Toyota Gazoo Racing Hilux in the Dakar Rally. This wheel is a culmination of Method’s years of off-road racing experience and technological expertise to withstand the harshest conditions while boasting a load rating of up to 4,000 lbs.
Established in 2002, Wheel Gallery has since served the growing aftermarket customization trend in the country. The company introduced Concept One Wheels simultaneously, bringing in fresh new styles with a wide selection of fitments. The company was also the first to popularize 20-inch wheels in the country with MKW, TIS, and American Racing. Method Race Wheels is the latest addition to its growing line-up.
“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 represente d well through our new partner,” said 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.”
Method Race Wheels design, engineer, and develop high-performance wheels for the most demanding off-road races in the world. Some of the manufacturer’s notable achievements include the Dakar Rally, Baja 1000, and King of the Hammers. Moreover, the company’s leadership actively participates in off-road racing events while working with some of the best motorsport 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. Method Race Wheels’ motto embodies each product they develop for racing or everyday use—Lighter. Stronger. Faster.
As Method Race Wheels designs, develops, and distributes high-performance wheels and accessories for race and street application, these products represent its commitment to quality, driven by high-performance standards. Further, innovation is one of the driving forces behind Method Race Wheels®, and customers can find their latest breakthrough in their recently patented Bead Grip® Technology.
The wheel manufacturer developed this technology from the demands of off-road racing to hold tires securely in place despite requiring lower tire pressure to gain additional traction. Method Race Wheels® with Bead Grip® is proven and tested to hold tires securely in place with as little as ten psi without using 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 the 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.
Currently, Wheel Gallery also retails TSW, Breyton Wheels, and Black Rhino Wheels in the Philippines. Evolving with the times, Wheel Gallery has catered to the growing off-road market in the Philippines by promoting the Overlanding lifestyle with their wheels and tires. Wheel Gallery will continue to push the aftermarket wheel industry envelope with more specialized wheel and tire packages and more exciting and vibrant new designs in the years to come.
Method Race Wheels® will be available at Concept One Wheels at 318 Santolan Road, San Juan, and any Authorized Dealers. For more information, customers may visit www.conceptonewheels.ph or @conceptonewheels.ph.
