Autosport never fails to impress! Year on year, we present our fantastic range of wheels and meet up with other industry types – let’s not forget the girls too! Dotz is always well represented at Autosport, and we thought we’d show you a few snaps from the event – featuring our tasty Subaru WRX wearing some shoes from our brother brand Calibre – The Friction.
With a black gloss finish and stunning red trim to the spokes, you can see how well this sits on the new WRX motor.

Plus, the big news: we have a new website coming soon! Watch this space!

The Dotz Lottery. Have You Got The Balls For It?
When it comes to gambling, the Lottery doesn’t usually come to the front of your mind in terms of the most glamorous of activities. Sure, scooping several million squids is pretty cool. Yeah, we all love the end results, but compared to say betting the house at Monte Carlo – or risking it all on ‘black’ at the Bellagio, watching a permatanned Dale Winton poncing around in front of a giant bubble gum machine doesn’t really do it for us.

The lads over at www.tyresave.co.uk made a video of our Shuriken wheels being fitted to a Ford Focus — and the result is fantastic (as we’d expect!). So if you’ve ever wondered how the alloys are actually fitted here’s your chance to find out.. check out the 5 minute video below.
It’s inspired us to do some similar videos in a time-lapse style. So what would be your favourite DOTZ wheel/car time lapse video (and we’ll try and make it happen!).

Now, is it just me? Or have we all got a lot fussier as consumers?
If I start shouting words at you like Rubik’s, Kajagoogoo, and Yuppie, you’ll either think that I’ve lost the plot, or depending on your age, you’ll already be drifting back in time to the ‘80s. A decade where peoples’ aspirations were exceeded only by their shoulder pads and mobile phones came with more hand baggage than the average Ryanair flight. It was truly a great decade though, as Maggie Thatcher (ask your Dad) sold off the entire country and created an appetite for success that saw a 911 in every car park, a taboo and lemonade in every bar (ask your Mum) and a real belief that if you had a great idea and a bit of patter, you could probably make a million. And plenty did…
