I've just submitted a purchase order for a set of DOTZ Dakar Dark 6x15 ET-12 wheels.
49 GBP/each. I'm worried a little bit about ET-12 but fingers crossed it won't cause any problem. Hopefully.

Looks great...love black .................can't wait to see them fitted.

The only thing I ever really worry about is backspace - I prefer to think of backspace rather than offset - so I have clearance for things like suspension struts etc.

I tried to check the backspace also using this clever web page:

www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=205-70-1...mm&wcl=70mm&scl=70mm

I just made up the value for fender- , wheelwells and suspension clearance but otherwise I've set every known parameters to match with my real OEM tyre. It shows the displacement relative to an OEM config. All what you might need just to play with the settings/config on the right hand side. Due to financial reasons it will be fitted in next month only. :sick: They will roll on new Kumho Road Venture MT KL71 tyres.

Hello there.

I've ordered a set of Dotz Dakar Dark 6Jx15 139.7/5 110 ET -12 wheels from Germany 2 weeks ago.
1 weeks later I received a set of Dotz Dakar 7Jx15 139.7/5 110 ET -12...
They said 6" does not exist in black (or "Dark") so I have two options.
option ,,A" : I can keep those
option ,,B" : it needs to be sent back to Germany and they'll replace them with Dotz Dakar Silver 6Jx15 139.7/5 110 ET 0.

I've choosen option ,,B". Yesterday the new set's arrived so I have to pain them black now...or I may give a go for the Silver first.
We'll see.

Next: let's buy some Kumho KL71

Gabor
