Black Rhino Wheels KUMA

Black Rhino KUMA - Bear-Strength Off-Road Wheel in Matte Black

Japanese and Swahili Bear Naming in the Black Rhino Wildlife-Heritage Collection

Black Rhino KUMA is a cast aluminum alloy wheel named after the word for bear in both Japanese and several East African languages - an animal representing raw strength, terrain dominance, and calm power under pressure. The KUMA translates these qualities into a wheel designed for trucks that encounter genuinely demanding terrain: rock, mud, sand, and everything in between.

Black Rhino KUMA Design & Engineering: Short-Arm Heavy-Mass Spoke Construction

The KUMA's spokes are proportionally short relative to the wheel's diameter, with each arm carrying substantial mass from hub to barrel rather than tapering into slender extensions. This design philosophy prioritises material presence at the spoke root - the highest-stress zone when a wheel encounters a sharp, asymmetric impact such as a submerged rock or a compressed trail rut. The result is a wheel face that communicates strength visually before any technical specification is considered.

Black Rhino KUMA Technical Specifications

Construction: cast monoblock. Material: Aluminum alloy. Offered from 17-inch through 20-inch across four diameter steps, covering the range from compact-platform trucks to heavy-duty SUVs requiring a robust, impact-tolerant alloy wheel. Width and offset options include negative-offset setups for lifted platforms running aggressive tyre clearance geometries on extended suspension arms.

Black Rhino KUMA Available Finishes

The KUMA is available in Matte Black. The choice to offer a single finish reflects the KUMA's singular design focus: maximum visual weight and durability signalling without cosmetic distraction. Matte Black provides the highest degree of trail-abuse tolerance among common wheel finishes, as micro-scratches from rocks and debris remain less visible against the uniform flat surface than on gloss or machined finishes that reflect light directionally.

Black Rhino KUMA Vehicle Fitment: Toyota Tacoma, Mitsubishi Triton

The KUMA suits platforms known for genuine off-road use including Toyota Tacoma (3rd and 4th gen), Mitsubishi Triton (MR), Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, Ford Everest (U704), and similar body-on-frame and ladder-frame platforms popular in overlanding communities across Southeast Asia, Australia, and North America. Contact us with your vehicle make, model, and year for a confirmed fitment specification.

Any Vehicle, Any Specification

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