‘Dotz’ one of the countries top alloy wheel manufacturers have officially launched yet another fantastic wheel design to their every expanding range of products, with the ‘Dotz Fast Seven’ being the name of this newest addition.

The Fast Seven does a very convincing take on the genuine split rim design as it is precision pressure cast in one piece, then when you mix in the the flawless gunmetal paint finish, juxtaposed with a stunning diamond machined deep dish lip and bolt face and you end up with one of this years show season’s essential rims. A unique seven-spoke design, combined with an unashamed retro flavour sets this rim apart from anything currently available out there, and the straight spokes are perfectly complemented by sculpted bevels and angled side surfaces, giving this wheel a dynamic, elegant and extremely stylish look.

As we have come to expect from the high standards of the Dotz brand a huge range of applications and sizes for this wheel are available straight away, catering from tuners to scene cars and everything in between, size listings and pictures of the wheels in white and gunmetal can be seen below.

New Year, New Wheels?

danny — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:24:37 +0000

Well 2012 is now officially up and running, and unbelievably whilst it still feels like we are finding dropped sausage rolls and streamers from party poppers set off during New Years parties, we are almost an entire month into the year!

With the new year often comes new years resolutions of all shapes and sizes, stopping smoking, losing weight, and trying new things are common ones which are often already forgotten by this time of year!

So, rather than lying to yourself, and having to explain to your partner why you haven’t lost those few extra pounds you said you would, or why you haven’t finally finished decorating the bathroom, , however, here at Wheelworx we have a fantastic idea for a – slightly delayed – new years resolution which is easy to stick to, and which you can most certainly benefit from.

Instead of 2012 being just another year in which your car is still rolling around on big, heavy, steel wheels with unattractive wheel trims that are merely hanging on with cable ties, 2012 should be the year in which you transform the look and performance of your car…how you ask?…with alloy wheels of course!

Not only do alloy wheels look incredibly good on a car, they are also much lighter than steel wheels so provide great performance and efficiency benefits, something I’m sure most drivers would enjoy.

So, why not give yourself a much more enjoyable resolution this year, and treat both yourself and your car, with some fantastic alloy wheels from our comprehensive collection, happy new year!

Highly respected wheel house Kei Racing have released a superbly engineered range of solutions for enthusiasts looking to either increase the track, or change the PCD of their car’s wheels, with an extensive new range of spacers and adapters offering 4 and 5 stud fitments and spacer widths ranging from 3mm to 25mm per side.

All of these new items are presented in a flawless black anodised finish and CNC machined from a solid aluminium billet, throughout the differing widths a varied combination of 5/100, 5/112, 4/100, 4/108, 5/108 and 5/100 hub centring variants can be ordered, each one locating perfectly on the hub to eliminate wheel wobble and replicate top OEM levels of engineering integrity.

Correctly fitted wheels spacers not only add a touch of aggression to the stance of any car, but they also help to improve handling characteristics, enhancing turn-in and reducing tendency to roll.

The thinner 3,5 and 7mm versions are simple shims which use either the original studs/bolts or come complete with the required longer items. To ensure safety at high speeds, the thicker versions are either bolt on or bolt through designs to ensure that all lateral loads are adequately dispersed through the axle.

The PCD converters allow a range of differing 4 to 4, 5 to 5 and even 4 to 5 stud conversions. Over-engineered to the same high-standards, these are an essential upgrade when changing to wheels from another vehicle.

Priced at £155 including VAT and delivery for a set of four, Kei Racing adapters and spacers provide a safe and stylish way to enhance your car, for a very decent price. Wheel adapters start from £89.99 including VAT per pair. Spacers kits start from £59.99 including VAT.
