Perfectly styled winter ride
BACK TO OVERVIEWIt's about time to switch the summer tyres. They have served their purpose and should be stored properly for the winter (more on that later). But which rim suits your car? Let yourself be inspired, for example, by our currently beloved liaison between the Porsche Macan and our DOTZ LongBeach black, specially designed for medium and large SUVs.
Thrilling contrast
We opted for 21 inches because the large wheels not only complement the sporty appearance of the Macan. The sleekly designed body of the highly popular Porsche (making up a third of all sold Porsches) is effectively contrasted by the sporty-aggressive LongBeach. Intrigued?
In the DOTZ 3D rim configurator, you can instantly see how the LongBeach looks on your car. Or “try on” one of the many other rims. But which ones should you use in the winter?
Winter rims 101
Thanks to their highly durable SRC coating, DOTZ wheels are ideal companions for the winter. This elaborate process protects against snow, ice, and salt and allows for attractive wheels even during the harsh season. When changing, it's important to store the summer tyres properly. They should be thoroughly cleaned and then stored in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from oils, gasoline, or any chemicals in general. Ideally, you have the option to hang the wheels on the wall, but they can also be stacked on top of each other. Using narrow tyres in the winter is no longer necessary, while it's timeless wisdom that you should always swap all four wheels.
Big-footed
With a maximum load capacity of up to 1045 kg, the DOTZ LongBeach can handle quite a bit and looks quite impressive, especially in larger sizes. Our pictures show the Macan with a very attractive wheel variant: in front, LongBeach rims in the 9.5x21 format house 265/40 tyres, while in the rear, there are 10.5x21 rims with 295/35 tyres.
It's a very harmonious combination that, thanks to VTA and ECE applications, can be mounted free of registration in many dimensions (from 9x20 to 10.5x22 inches) and for many SUV models. With the finely tuned design language of the LongBeach black, the beautiful Macan not only looks stunning but the fast all-wheel-drive with a standard dual-clutch transmission also handles winter conditions perfectly well.
