17" Black Rhino Armory Wheels

The Black Rhino Armory looks like it belongs on a G Wagon. Inspired by military wheels, the full-face design, recessed hardware and bolt-on center cap give it a properly utilitarian look without wandering into the overstyled territory that ruins a lot of aftermarket wheels.

More importantly, we aren't carrying these just because they look good.

The G Wagon fitment measures 17x8 with a +45 offset and 5x130 bolt pattern, giving us the dimensions we're looking for without relying on adapters or questionable universal fitment. Each wheel carries a 3,400-pound load rating, making the Armory appropriately substantial for a vehicle as heavy and capable as the G-Class. 

The Armory is a one-piece cast aluminum wheel, available in Gun Black or Desert Sand. The 17-inch diameter also leaves plenty of room for tire sidewall, which is exactly what we want when we're building a G Wagon intended to spend time somewhere other than pavement. 

Unlike the 463 Industries BL1, the Armory is not a beadlock wheel. For a lot of G Wagon owners, that's actually the point. You get the aggressive, military-inspired appearance and an off-road-friendly 17-inch wheel without the additional hardware, maintenance and compromises of a true beadlock.

Black Rhino designed the Armory as a truck and SUV wheel, and it shows. The face is almost completely filled, the center cap covers the lug area, and the design looks particularly at home against the square bodywork and utilitarian roots of a G Wagon.

Why we carry them

The Armory has the right bolt pattern, sensible offset, serious load capacity and a 17-inch diameter that lets you run an appropriately substantial tire. And aesthetically, it makes a G Wagon look more purposeful without making it look cheap. We've vetted the fitment, we know how these work on G Wagons, and we work directly with the manufacturer. If it's in The Wheel Shop, because we'd actually put it on one of our own builds.

Wheels are sold individually. Quantity 1 means one wheel. Quantity 4 means four wheels.
