Am thinking of getting some new 18" dotz alloys offset of 35. What are your opinions.

I prefer the Mugello to the Tupac. I think you'd get away with the Tupac wheel if you had larger brake discs otherwise I think they look a bit lost behind the thin spokes.

I think in general thin spoke alloys dont really work, thats just my taste though...

I have been looking at some new wheels for the zed and have decided to go back to silver. These are the wheels i am looking at Inovit DTM the fitments will be 255/35/18 9" rims offset 37 rears and 225/40/18 8" rims offset 42 fronts. Running on Continental sport 3s. Would be nice to see what folk think.

thanks bill

Look pretty schweeet, but I wouldn't want to clean them...

Hi i have these wheels and wouldn't recommend them as there a pain in the ass to clean and i've had mine a year and the laquer over the black centre has started to flake off. Cheers Daz

Theyre a nice looking alloy and suit the Zed as similar to OE Style 78s.

Don't know what the quality of these are like but if going for polished rim then I think Stainless steel would be best otherwise one salty winter and they will look

As said fiddly to clean but you soon get used to it
