Rock ‘N Roll: May – June 2017 Edition

The stronger your wheel, the harsher the terrain your vehicle can tackle. The better looking the wheel, the more heads your vehicle will turn. Why not go for both with a wheel that combines it all? Aftermarket wheels are a surefire way to improve your truck’s performance, as well as its looks.

There are many truck wheels on the market; here is the latest selection that’s turning plenty of heads both on and off the trail.

Black Rhino Wheels/York

York’s styling gives it a unique hybrid personality of speed and toughness. The cut-through lip pattern adds a texture reminiscent of the hollowed-out features common in race-bred machines. York off-road rims are available in 17 x 8, 17 x 9, 18 x 8, 18 x 9, and 20 x 9-inch sizes. Offsets range from -12mm to +52mm for five- and six-lug bolt patterns. Available in two finishes, matte black (as seen here) and matte gunmetal.
