What a year
BACK TO OVERVIEWFor DOTZ, the year 2023 was packed with exciting moments and many highlights. Together with our great community, we want to look back on the past 365 days and relive the many highlights. Curtain up for a year full of momentum, innovation, great events and passion for sprucing up your vehicle!
New wheel designs, new possibilities
A highlight in spring 2023 was the introduction of two extraordinary rim designs: the DOTZ Fuji and the DOTZ LongBeach. These designs combine art and performance in five fascinating colour variations, including an eye-catching gold for the Fuji.
The Fuji presents itself with a multi-level rim bed and weight-reduced construction, while the LongBeach was created for SUVs and lives up to its name. Both designs set new standards in terms of aesthetics and performance.
DOTZ on tour
Tuning World Bodensee once again attracted the international tuning community with shows, action and numerous competitions. With more than 1500 show cars and 850 exhibitors from the industry, aftermarket and tuning clubs, the trade fair offers a multifaceted platform for enthusiasts from all over Europe.
DOTZ presented – among other things – a Toyota Yaris GR refined with shiny Fuji rims at the trade fair. The highlight was once again the European Tuning Showdown, where the best converted vehicles competed against each other.
DOTZ rims for the wilderness
In the summer, we ventured into the world of off-road adventure. The DOTZ 4x4 Dakar received a new colour variation in bronze and was presented at the largest trade fair for off-road fans and adventure seekers, the Abenteuer Allrad in Bad Kissingen, Germany.
This rim combines style and durability and sets accents on heavy off-road vehicles, as fans were able to admire on the Ford Ranger Wildtrack Pickup at a representative stand by the off-road specialist DOTZ 4X4.
Exciting airfield shoot
We also had an impressive photo shoot with the VW Arteon Shooting Brake eHybrid and the DOTZ Fuji dark and grey on an airfield.
The Lapiz Blue Metallic paint of the vehicle and the eye-catching design of the 20-inch rims even gave the elegant estate car a heavenly touch. The sleek VW Arteon Shooting Brake eHybrid was professionally staged with tuning kits by Maxton Design, a chassis by Gepfeffert, and the Fuji. A day we will remember for a long time.
Always leaving an impression: our team riders
Our great team riders have once again set new standards for individuality and passion in 2023. Martin from Innsbruck, Austria, has transformed his Cupra into a purple feast for the eyes, Linda from Bavaria, Germany, has created a unique masterpiece with her Audi A6, and Tobi from Baden-Württemberg, Germany, proves that everyday family life and car tuning go together perfectly.
Their vehicles have been refined with the latest DOTZ Fuji and LongBeach rim designs and have caused quite a stir at meetings all over Europe. DOTZ 4x4 now also has a few team riders at the start. You can see more from them in our articles.
Jam-packed Advent calendar
In 2023, we are once again lightening up the pre-Christmas season with our jam-packed Advent calendar. 24 attractive prizes, including a set of DOTZ rims, an Apple Watch SE and much more, are hidden behind the little doors.
We hope you are having as much fun opening them as we did putting them together...
No end in sight
DOTZ already has exciting new additions to its portfolio for spring 2024. The DOTZ MarinaBay, a minimalist and extroverted design, will be available in three colour variations (matt black, gunmetal with polished rim flange and matt bronze) for mid-range and upper mid-range vehicles. With reference to the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore, the rim impresses with its reduced, open design and subtle accents.
DOTZ also presents the well-known Suzuka in a new colour variation, matt bronze. The Suzuka, with its filigree Y-design, has already been popular in the "blaze", "dark" and "black" variations. The bronze matt colour variation gives the sporty, elegant wheel a dominant appearance and is available for vehicles such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes in various dimensions from 8x18 to 9x20 inches. Mixed tires are possible for certain BMW models thanks to additional ECE fitments.
It is always worth a visit
By the way, it is always worth paying DOTZ a visit, for example on our Instagram channel.
