DOTZ FAQ
BACK TO OVERVIEWWe receive many inquiries about the brand DOTZ and our products every day. Therefore we have collected the most important facts & figures and prepared them for you in a clear and concise way.
- Since when does the brand DOTZ exist?
Originally known as a rim brand in South Africa, the four distinctive letters DOTZ changed continents in 1999. The former brand BBV Beteiligungs GmbH was incorporated into the industrial holding company ALCAR and thus the continuous brand development process to a European-wide top player in the passenger car aftermarket began. Today, DOTZ is an integral part of the scene. If you want to know more about the history of DOTZ, you can find a detailed article here.

- At which fairs are you represented?
Due to the current situation around COVID-19, we also had to take a (forced) break, as all trade show dates were postponed or cancelled, partly to 2021. But basically we are represented at all important scene meetings all over Europe. From the GTI meeting at the Wörthersee to the SO.GA in Italy to the OSLO Motor Show and the Essen Motor Show – you'll find DOTZ everywhere.
- Where do the DOTZ photo shootings take place?
For the perfect product photo, we travel through world history every year. Besides regular shootings at various locations in Austria and Germany, we have also been to some wild locations. From a pigsty to a deserted amusement park to a salt desert - we have seen and tried out many things.
- Where do you get the cars for your shootings?
Over the years we have massively expanded our network and made many contacts in the scene. Sometimes a phone call is enough and the dream car is organized. Often, we also ask our fans on social media if someone owns the car we are looking for and would like to have it professionally photographed. In most cases, new contacts are made immediately.
- Can I send you pictures of my car with DOTZ rims?
Sure! Just send us your photos directly on social media via Facebook or Instagram. We are happy about input from our community. Because one thing is clear: If you share your stories and posts within the DOTZ community – shared joy is double the joy. Especially on DOTZ Wheel Wednesday many rim enthusiasts post photos from different angles and in different variations.
- What is the DOTZ Family?
The DOTZ community has grown steadily over the past few years, and we can now look forward to more than 253,000 active followers on Facebook. On Instagram the DOTZ Community is growing steadily as well as the number of followers sharing their passion for cars.
Our DOTZ Family consists of different people who have contributed significantly to bring our brand to where it is today. Some of them are long-standing partners of ours and have been with us since the early beginnings of DOTZ.
- What are the upcoming rim trends?
In the aftermarket sector, the design trend is more towards straightforward designs, not too playful, not too cluttered. In the high-price segment, technical refinements such as milled breakthroughs in spokes or tiny milled elements round off the design.
