Black Rhino Wheels ARX

Black Rhino ARX - Armor-Reinforced Off-Road Wheel in Matte Black and Matte Gunmetal

Armour-Reference Naming for a Maximum-Impact-Resistance Cast Alloy Design

Black Rhino ARX is a cast aluminum alloy wheel with a name drawing from the Latin root for armour and protection - the same root that gives us words like arc, arch, and armament. The ARX is designed for applications where wheel impact resistance is the non-negotiable primary criterion: rock crawling, full-size tyre fitments, and loaded expedition platforms where a compromised wheel means stranding rather than inconvenience.

Black Rhino ARX Design & Engineering: Reinforced Hub-Zone Spoke Platform

The ARX uses a spoke architecture with an enlarged hub-zone platform - the material immediately surrounding the centre bore and lug seat area is substantially wider and deeper than spoke designs that use a minimal hub disk. This enlarged platform distributes the bending moment from each spoke over a larger area of the hub face, reducing peak stress concentration at the most critical structural zone. The spoke arms themselves are broader at their root than at their mid-section, providing a tapered geometry that places maximum material where load transfer is highest.

Black Rhino ARX Technical Specifications

Construction: cast monoblock. Material: Aluminum alloy. Available from 17-inch through 20-inch. Width configurations include both standard truck fitments and wider setups for platforms running 10-to-12.5-inch tyre section widths. Offset options cover the range from mild positive-offset factory-height applications through to deeply negative fitments on lifted, widened axle platforms.

Black Rhino ARX Available Finishes

The ARX is offered in Matte Black and Matte Gunmetal. Both are matte surfaces selected for the same reasons that military and emergency-service vehicles avoid high-gloss finishes: reduced glare, reduced maintenance overhead, and reduced visual impact of minor surface contact damage. Matte Gunmetal provides a warmer metallic register than Matte Black while retaining the flat, low-reflectance surface quality that characterises the ARX's operational aesthetic.

Black Rhino ARX Vehicle Fitment: RAM 1500 Rebel, Ford Bronco Sport

The ARX is suited to impact-intensive platforms including RAM 1500 Rebel, RAM Power Wagon, Ford Bronco (2-door and 4-door), Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and comparable vehicles designed for rock, rubble, and high-clearance terrain where wheel-to-obstacle contact is an expected rather than exceptional event. Contact us with your vehicle make, model, and year for a confirmed fitment specification.

Any Vehicle, Any Specification

The ARX can be ordered for any vehicle and any specification - not just the models listed above. All lug configurations, offsets, widths, and centre bore requirements can be specified. Contact us with your vehicle make, model, and year for a confirmed fitment and build quote.
