Mastering simplicity and creating new value. The classic dish design of the popular brand Seeker, the Seeker DT, has captivated many fans. The long-awaited, specially designed one-piece model, the XTRAP DTHC, has been born to bring that universal appeal to the Hiace and Caravan market, which is the hottest topic in the customization scene. This latest, noteworthy product combines respect for Seeker with functional beauty optimized for a new target audience.
[Development Background: User feedback led to a new masterpiece]
The development of the "XTRAP DTHC" began with passionate requests for the popular Seeker DT. "I want a wheel with this design that can be fitted to a Toyota Hiace." With such requests coming in, the project was launched to address the growing demand for caravans. Development began with the aim of turning user feedback into reality.

The concept behind the DTHC was to recreate the warmth and character of the Seeker DT, reminiscent of a steel wheel, in a one-piece design. Combining the expressive power of aluminum wheels, such as the surface milling and sharp rim cut, the DTHC faithfully inherits the original's elegant cross-sectional shape and the deep three-dimensionality of the dish, which sets it apart from spokes. While maintaining its identity, the DTHC pursues new appeal as a one-piece model.
Simple yet profound design: At first glance, the design resembles a rugged steel wheel, but in reality it is made of high-quality aluminum alloy. The multi-hole section of the disc, with its eight holes, is characterized by its simple, streamlined aesthetic.
This depth is expressed in the cup design that slopes down towards the centre of the disc. This shape gives the wheel a three-dimensional appearance and shadows, creating a timeless design that changes its appearance depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
[Combining Power and Lightness]
The cross section of the disc's multi-hole section is thick, enhancing rigidity and durability, giving it the impression of being rock-solid. However, it is made from a lightweight aluminum alloy. Therefore, despite its heavy appearance, it delivers a nimble ride.

Advanced Technology to Overcome Weight Increase
Dish designs, while often perceived as heavy, often come with the added challenge of increased weight. DTHC not only conducts meticulous strength analysis, but also employs Work Flow Forming Technology, a technology also used in racing wheels. This allows us to achieve a high level of strength and lightness while maintaining the beauty of the design.

[Ingenious Design Overcomes High Offsets]
High offsets are particularly challenging when fitted to caravans. While conventional spoke designs struggle to create a sense of depth, DTHC takes full advantage of the advantages of the dish design. Because it's easy to maintain strength even with a thin cross section, the Seeker DT is perfectly suited to high offsets without compromising its dynamic, three-dimensional appearance.

[Special Center Cap for a Powerful Look]
The 6H-139.7 P.C.D. disc creates space in the center of the disc. To enhance this space as part of the design, we developed a new center cap specifically for DTHC. The larger diameter and high-profile shape emphasize the three-dimensional feel of the existing Seeker, adding a powerful presence. It tightens the overall design balance and creates an exquisite accent without creating a stretched impression.

[Playfulness in the Details]
The ribbed portion of the disc's outer periphery is intentionally left uncut, leaving the base color intact. The ""WORK"" logo is cast into this uncut portion, adding rhythm and playfulness to the design. The visual effect, which is as if a ribbon is wrapped around the wheel, is a unique feature of this wheel.

Its classic look is a perfect match for a low-riding style. On the other hand, its simple yet powerful design is also perfectly suited to an up-style customization that involves raising the vehicle height and combining it with off-road tires.
