Shop Method 401 UTV Beadlock Wheels in Matte Black
Give your UTV a race-inspired 12-window design and a true beadlock setup with the Method 401 UTV Beadlock in Matte Black. The 401 is built from A356 aluminum with T6 heat treatment and pairs a reinforced inner lip with a forged 6061 aluminum V.1 beadlock ring. Method includes Grade 8 zinc-plated beadlock hardware with the wheel. Its manufacturer-stated load rating is 1,600 pounds per wheel.
If you are ready to buy Method 401 UTV Beadlock wheels, start by matching your machine’s exact bolt pattern, wheel size, offset, and SKU. The 401 comes in different 14- and 15-inch configurations. A correct-looking wheel can still be the wrong part if the lug pattern or offset does not match your UTV.

Price and inventory vary by specific SKU. Check the selected option at checkout rather than assuming every size and pattern is available at the same price or ships on the same schedule. Use the complete part number when asking customer support about current stock.
Why Choose the 401 UTV Beadlock
The 401 was developed for serious off-road use and features an iconic 12-window face. Its push-through center cap carries an embossed Method Race Wheels logo. The Schrader valve sits between the spokes, where the wheel design helps shield it in harsh riding environments.
The wheel’s solid A356 aluminum construction receives T6 heat treatment. Method reinforces the inner lip and uses a forged 6061 aluminum V.1 beadlock ring. The included Grade 8 zinc-plated hardware kit secures the ring to the wheel. Together, these details make the 401 a purposeful option for riders who want a traditional beadlock design rather than a Bead Grip-style wheel without a ring.
Matte Black keeps the finish understated while the windowed wheel face adds a distinct motorsport look. It works well with UTV builds focused on trail riding, desert terrain, or a rugged everyday setup. Select the fitment for the machine first, then choose the tire and wheel package around your terrain and riding priorities.
How to Confirm Your UTV Wheel Fitment
Before you order, work through these checks:
1.Identify the machine. Confirm its year, make, model, trim, and any suspension, brake, hub, or axle modifications.
2.Match the bolt pattern. The chart includes 4×136, 4×156, 5×4.5, and 6×5.5. These are different patterns and cannot be substituted for one another.
3.Choose the correct diameter and width. The listed Matte Black options include 14×7, 15×6, and 15×7. Confirm that the tire you plan to use is approved for the wheel width.
4.Review offset and spacing. For instance, 15×7 fitments include both +13 mm / 4+3 and +38 mm / 5+2 variants. They position the wheel differently.
5.Check load requirements. The 401 carries a published 1,600-pound load rating. Confirm the vehicle’s per-wheel requirements and account for the intended load.
6.Verify front and rear positions. Some UTV setups use different fitments at each end. Confirm whether the chosen size and spacing suit the axle position.
7.Match the SKU exactly. Compare every character in the part number before checkout, especially the size, pattern, offset, and finish identifiers.
8.Confirm the package. Check whether the listing is for one wheel or a set and verify that the beadlock ring and hardware kit are included.
9.Ask an experienced installer if uncertain. Have them confirm clearance, mounting, tire compatibility, and the correct tightening procedure for the beadlock ring.
Bolt pattern alone is not a fitment guarantee. Changes to tires, suspension, brakes, hubs, and vehicle stance can affect clearance. Confirm the whole wheel-and-tire combination before you schedule installation or head out on the trail.
True Beadlock Construction: Ring and Hardware Included
The Method 401 is a true UTV beadlock wheel. Its outer ring clamps the tire bead to the wheel using the included mounting hardware. That differs from Method Bead Grip® products, which use a bead-seat design and do not use a bolt-on beadlock ring. If your goal is a beadlock assembly, verify that the product title and exact part number say 401 UTV Beadlock.
Beadlock installation and maintenance require care. Follow Method’s instructions for hardware installation and torque checks. Recheck hardware as directed after initial use and during routine maintenance. The ring is not a substitute for choosing the correct tire, maintaining appropriate pressure, or staying within the machine and wheel load limits.

Warranty, Care, and Buyer Confidence
Method’s published limited warranty provides structural-failure coverage to the original retail purchaser under normal and intended use for as long as they own the wheel. The warranty excludes wheels used in race environments. Method also lists five-year coverage for painted finish defects, subject to its conditions and exclusions.
The published warranty excludes damage related to abuse, misuse, neglect, accident, modifications, spacers or adapters, incorrect tire sizes, excessive loads, and finish damage from chemicals, climate, or neglect. It also excludes tire diameters greater than 37 inches. Warranty claims must go through the original dealer or distributor, and removal or installation expenses are not included. Review the current written terms before purchase, particularly if the wheel will be used in competition.
Keep your receipt and follow the supplied mounting and maintenance directions. Before riding, confirm the beadlock ring and hardware are installed correctly. If a wheel suffers a hard impact or shows damage, have it inspected by a qualified shop before continued use.
