Although dead, like all other Hellcat-powered models, the Ram 1500 TRX lives on in spirit and flesh. Numerous copies still enjoy their fifteen minutes of fame by doing all kinds of stunts.
We have seen this monstrous truck do its thing in different scenarios over the years, from taking on some punchy rides in a good-old quarter-mile battle to off-roading and parading its occasional aftermarket modifications.
The latest we came across falls in the latter category, as it has paid a visit to a wheel specialist. The company's name is Vossen, and everyone in the car game has seen at least a few of its proposals. In this case, the alloys are called the HFX-1, and they're a concave set measuring 20 inches in diameter on the pictured Ram 1500 TRX.
Besides the 20-inch set, Vossen also offers the HFX-1 in 22, 24, 17, and 18 inches, with the smallest variant starting at $500 per wheel and the largest at $900. The six-lug set can be finished in multiple hues, and it is available with deep, super deep, and ultra-deep concave profiles and various widths to fit all kinds of trucks, from the Ford F-150 and Jeep Wrangler to the Toyota Tundra and GMC Canyon.

Those who are interested in Vossen's HFX-1 alloys should also know that they are available with a five-lug design in 20 and 22-inch diameters, priced from $700 and $800 per wheel, respectively. In this configuration, they’re the pride and joy of models such as the BMW X3, Dodge Challenger, Audi Q8, Tesla Model S, and others, as the wheelmaker's official website reveals.
On the pictured Ram 1500 TRX, these Y-spoke wheels have a dark finish, which goes perfectly with the truck's overall appearance. The vehicle has a satin black look, several blacked-out accents, and privacy windows, and in this configuration, it looks ready to embark on an overlanding trip to the end of the world and back – assuming nothing malfunctions, of course.
It certainly has the firepower to back up the monstrous appearance, as it packs the wonderful Hellcat motor. It is a supercharged V8 engine with a 6.2-liter displacement, which is rated at 702 horsepower (712 ps/524 kW) and puts 650 pound-foot (881 Nm) of torque under the driver's right foot. The automatic transmission with eight speeds sends everything to the four-wheel drive system.
Flat-out, the Ram 1500 TRX will run out of breath at 188 mph (190 kph). According to the spec sheet, it needs just four and a half seconds to push to sixty miles per hour (97 kph), and it can run the 1/4-mile in 12.9 seconds, with an exit speed of 108 mph (174 kph). So, what's your take on the pictured copy?
