If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you would see these silver on black or silver on white wheels fitted on our Mclimb Style Hilux Surfs. Due to popular demand, we've decided to go into more detail about these DEAN Cross Crountry wheels.
These wheels may look like we used a Land Cruiser wheel cap on another rim, but they are actually wheels from the brand DEAN in Japan. They come in a variety of sizes, but for the Hilux Surf 185, the sizes we mainly use are the 16x8.0J ±0, 16x7.0J +15, and 17x8.0J +20.
The tire sizes used with these wheels depend on the wheel size used and what customs are done on the undercarriage (like lift up kits), but in general we use either the 265/75/16 or 235/85/16 tires for the 16 inch wheels for our customized Hilux Surfs and 4Runner Style.
These DEAN wheels belong to the Cross Country design that has 3 main colors: black, burnish gray/silver, and white. Depending on the body color and design of your rig, each color would fit differently and give a different feel.
For example, we mainly use DEAN Cross Country wheels on our Hilux Surf 185 series in Mclimb's 4Runner Style. As you can see, we match the color of the wheels with the body color to enhance the overall effect.
The body colors shown above include: metallic blue, blue, beige, metallic green, metallic orange, smokey blue, and yellow.
Other than on the Mclimb 4Runner narrow body Surfs, we also have these fitted on our other Mclimb Styles too. Here are some from our XC Style with the DEAN Cross Country in white and silver:
And here is another sample from our LA Style with the DEAN Cross Country in black:
These DEAN Cross Country wheels matches with the chrome bumpers and front grille, and can bring attention to the body color or simply makes your wheel the center of attention on the road.
Of course, the DEAN brand has other sizes and designs for other models too, like Suzuki's Jimny model. But that is another blog all itself, so we'll go more into that another day.
