Hi Penguin,
i know some People who have the one`s from 1st Picture - so very much yes for offroad.
Only issue: they just have Kind of a primer on them, so if you dont like them to be rusty after short time - paint them correctly.
I know them under the Name of "Dotz"
If i am right, they are produced in Switzerland
Cheers Philip

Thx for the reply.

The second ones are indeed from Dotz.
It seems that some other company is making the same model.

Currently I'm doubting between the Dotz, who has TüV, or the modular.

If the paint is really that poor on a Dotz, then the choice is made Wink 28/02 - Loss of a good friend...

Thumbs Up
I wouldn`t say the Dotz are bad rims, not at all, they are solid and very affrodable, (around 80€) - a lot of guys drive them.
They seam also to be very easy to Balance.
Just the same with the Wolf (LR) one`s, before first use, i braught them in a paint-shop - till now. rust free Thumbs Up

True, but wolfs are not available to buy from the tire supplier.
And I'm tired of the ping-pong play when discussing the root cause of vibrations...
