What are Black Rhino Wheels?
Black Rhino is an American manufacturer of tough and rugged alloy rims designed for trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles and engineered for optimum performance and durability. Black Rhino wheels are known for their durability, performance, and aggressive styling, making them popular among off-road enthusiasts and those looking to enhance the appearance of their trucks and SUV’s. Crafted from proprietary aluminium alloys, they offer an optimal balance of lightweight construction and robust strength.
Black Rhino wheels are manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility using advanced production techniques, ensuring high quality and precision. They are manufactured to withstand the rigorous demands of heavy loads and challenging terrains typically encountered by customised trucks and off-road vehicles.
Black Rhino offers an impressive range of wheel sizes, with diameters reaching up to 24 inches. They feature substantial lips, extending up to six inches, to securely accommodate oversized tyres, which are popular with off-road enthusiasts.
To ensure versatility across various vehicle makes, Black Rhino provides six different centre bore diameters, guaranteeing a smooth, vibration-free ride and optimised load handling. Centring rings are available for non-standard applications. The wheels are compatible with five, six, and eight-lug bolt patterns, catering to many vehicles.
For off-highway applications, Black Rhino offers wheels with offsets up to -12mm, providing the necessary clearance for rugged terrain. Offsets ranging from 0 mm to +35 mm are available for those seeking a wide, aggressive stance popular among urban truck enthusiasts.
Popular Styles of Black Rhino Wheels
Black Rhino Shredder
The Black Rhino Shredder is a bold, aggressive, off-road mesh wheel designed for truck and SUV enthusiasts who crave striking visual impact. This wheel features a distinctive twisted spoke design and an angular concave profile that pushes the boundaries of style. Available for both 5-lug and 6-lug trucks, the Shredder comes in 17-inch, 18-inch, and 20-inch sizes.
The Black Rhino Shredder offers a range of offsets from -18mm to +12mm, allowing various fitment options to suit different vehicle setups. It is offered in two eye-catching finishes:
- Matte Black with Machined Dark Tint: This finish features layered detailing on the wheel face, enhancing its aggressive appearance. Brass bolts are included to add a contrasting accent.
- Matte Gunmetal with Black Ring: This option provides a more uniform look while maintaining the wheel’s bold character.
What sets the Shredder apart is its manufacturing process. Black Rhino employs Flow Formed Technology (FFT), an advanced production technique that forges the wheel’s rim at high pressure while spinning at high speed. This process alters the alloy’s molecular structure, resulting in enhanced strength and significantly reduced weight compared to traditional cast wheels.
The weight reduction is particularly notable in the wheel’s outer rim, dramatically decreasing rotational mass. This reduction in unsprung weight translates to improved vehicle performance, including better acceleration, braking, and handling.
With its aggressive styling, advanced manufacturing, and performance benefits, the Black Rhino Shredder is designed to make a statement both on and off the road. It caters to truck and SUV owners who demand both style and functionality from their wheels.
Black Rhino Abrams
The Black Rhino Abrams is a rugged, military-inspired wheel that builds upon the success of the Armory and Arsenal designs. Named after the formidable M1 Abrams tank, this wheel boasts the most robust and aggressive design elements in the Black Rhino truck wheel lineup.
A standout feature of the Abrams is its deep, aggressive lip, available in all size options – 17, 18, and 20 inches. This design element significantly enhances the appearance of heavy-duty off-road trucks, giving them a commanding presence both on and off the trail.
The Abrams are precisely engineered and explicitly tailored for 5×127 Jeep fitments and 8-lug trucks. It’s offered exclusively in a -18mm offset, providing an uncompromising stance and optimal clearance for off-road applications.
The Abrams is available in various finishes, including Gloss Gun Black with Machined Dark Tint, Olive Drab Green, and Textured Matte Gunmetal, allowing owners to customise their vehicle’s look.
In addition to its striking aesthetics, the Abrams wheel is built to perform. It features high load ratings, ranging from 2250 to 3640 lbs depending on the specific size and fitment, ensuring it can handle the demands of heavy-duty off-road use.
While initially designed for particular Jeep and 8-lug truck applications, Black Rhino has expanded the Abrams lineup to include fitments for a broader range of vehicles. The wheel is now available in various bolt patterns, including 6×139.7, 6×135, 5×150, and others, making it accessible to owners of various truck and SUV models.
