Dotz Dakar
Can anyone advise me why black Dotz Dakars wouldn't make good cheap Winter wheels (RRUK - I agree, Wolfs seem overkill)?
I'm putting Discoverer S/T Maxx tyres on them.

Wheels are here:

they're not very pretty ... but if you are happy with the look, make sure they are load rated and have a TUV certificate

have a look at ZU's, Mach5's or Terrafirmas

Agreed... but prettier than Wolfs (and cheaper).
I'd really like wheels with the same ET as Boosts to avoid TÜV problems with my spacers. Checking out ZUs etc. now Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

ZU's are TUV approved, I used them when I lived in CH

That's right!!! I had a friend back in the 80s with Wellers on his Mini Cooper - white with red and blue rings around them.
His were bottom right:

These are Manx copies but more like his:

Horrible ghastly things...but so cool back then (used to drive with one glove) :rolllaugh:
