New wheels: Analog HD or Method 705?

[Scedwin]

Hello all, going to get new 17x8.5/0mm offset wheels for my iconic silver badsquatch running 315’s or 35’s. I’ve narrowed it down to either Fifteen52 Analog HD or Method 705 in black. Anyone have experience with either/both and want to chime in to help me decide? Thanks!

Method 705 with bead grip? They are great, particularly if you air down for wheeling a lot.

Chipped one going over Pearl Pass last year, but that was aired down too much on those sharp rock ledges.

But you may not need it. The other ones you are looking at don't seem to to have grip technology.

Yes, would be the 705s with the bead grip and I will be wheeling with it so that is an advantage of those over the Analogs.

I have the Analogs. Love the look of them. They do not have the bead grip that the methods have but I regularly air down to 13ish psi with no issues.

Methods if you like to air down

 

[Scedwin]

Great to hear the Analogs air down without issues @1979 ...that's the main differentiator I was considering between the two. I dig the look as well, I've got steelies on my old Rover which the Analogs look pretty similar to.

Not exactly the same, but I have the Method 703s with Bead Grip and love them. Aired down to around 12 and no issues.

I recommend the 705s in Titanium. I have the 17" x 8.5" +35 offset. I just bought a new 2025 Badlands Sas in Azure Blue. I don't like the look of the fenders wider than the tires, but do not want the fender delete either. I put Non Sas fenders on and I love the look. Just enough poke, but still have tire coverage. If I get too close to any rocks or trees, the tires will hit first.

Thanks all for the input. It was a tight race, but after entirely too much internet info scraping I ended up going with the Analogs. Cheers and see you out on the trail.

I'm in the same boat. @Scedwin , what was your deciding factor?

@PC Austin I probably had three; 1) Based on all the reviews and experience I found across multiple vehicles, the Analogs performed without issue at low pressure, 2) They were $80 less (each) than I could get the 705s at, and 3) I dig the minimalist, no frills aspect of them. Here's a pic with them installed...

@Scedwin! I love the look and sounds like the same points I'm looking for. This helps a lot!

Suggestion: Add nice pics of both wheels in the OP. Just one each would be great.

What offset did you pick for these?

@1979 I got the 0mm offset
