Method 709HDs are gonna be my choice. Even get a bead holder thing with em. Your thinking is very sound with the simulated bead lock ring. These thing soak up damage like it’s cool. And they’re usually replaceable. That’s a good thing. My last set ended their lives doing a metallic imitation of cooked bacon.I have the Method 315's. Pictures in my build thread. I've beat them up.
The ring on 315's isn't replaceable. It's all one piece. I got chunks missing from the ring.Method 709HDs are gonna be my choice. Even get a bead holder thing with em.

I honestly have no idea what number mine are. I even bought an extra for a full sized spare right out the gate. Replaceable is the way to go. I like that they are pretty sacrificial. Beadlocks are super cool but biggest failing I see on anything other than probably Hutchinson is if that ring gets dinged it’s pretty much game over for that tire until you can coax it back into shape. I may be totally wrong but that’s what my head tells me.The ring on 315's isn't replaceable. It's all one piece. I got chunks missing from the ring.
Been thinking on going with real bead locks.
