Zu Alloys (made of steel)
Anyone tried these? Quite like the idea of steels not alloys........... cheaper too.

ISTR that these were discussed on here recently and most were put off by the lack of any load rating or QA information. Darren

I phoned them up and asked the load rating and they said 1950kg per wheel.

Would be interesting to see if someone else got the same answer!

If they are rated at that then they could be a bargain option

looks like they come from here; http://mach5wheels.co.uk/index.htm#sw

you could try ringing them direct on 01302 310468.

my only worry is the how durable the powder coating will be.

Damn Evil or Very Mad

Dan at 4x4tyres says they're not certified for Germany - would have been perfect for me Rolling Eyes Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

I'm pretty sure that if they were genuine Mach 5 wheels then they'd be named and priced as such... Darren

Silverline are doing a genuine Mach 5 alloy, the MaxXtrac which are "JWL tested for worldwide sales" - might be worth a look

Not a chance at that pricing. Genuine Mach 5 powder coating is very good. I've had a set on for a couple of years and there is no sign of any deterioration. Even so it's an easy and cheap task to get them redone! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!
