The new Dotz Crunch will break down any barrier

The onomatopoetic name "crunch" says it all. And if the Dotz Survival 4WD-outfitters call a new six-spoke wheel by that name they certainly don't refer to the noise caused by a Bentley pulling up on the gravelled path leading to an English manor.

With the new, extremely "fat" Crunch, hardcore off-roaders will not suffer from any bad conscience when driving through sand, mud and rubble without ever even thinking of a cloth and wheel cleanser. Triangular openings with chamfered corners and the "solid" spoke connection lend the wheel a very massive effect. Even a monster truck wouldn't feel underdressed - if such a size were available. For most 4WDs, however, the three available sizes suffice, especially since there are both five and six-hole connections to be had.

The wheel's massive impression, by the way, is not deceptive when it comes to technical qualities. The Dotz Crunch is a real heavy-duty wheel and doesn't have to be handled with kid gloves. Its H2 humps prevent the tyre from slipping of the wheel even in extreme situations. "Crunch" doesn't also mean "crisis" for nothing.

Its massive presence notwithstanding, the Crunch is not visually plump. If you are aesthetically minded, just look at the horn and hub, both polished. Decorative bores in the hub area do lend the wheel a sporty touch even. With so much "silverware", you may even be allowed to pull up in front of the afore-mentioned English manor.
