Thinking about a new set of wheels...Donz produces a lot of private label stuff as well..These are just some images I snagged of their wheels..

What's not to like?
I think they're all hot. Main thing is what finish you choose.
Since not many people get Donz there will be some exclusivity....for a while. These look so nice they will catch on.

Not a fan of Donz wheels.
I think there are much better solutions out there!

I like the second one shown the best. Wheels are probably the most "personal preference" item out there. I like all those wheels, but they would look out of place on my old 560SL.

Why don't you guys like DOnz?
Is it the look? I don't see anything wrong with how they look but you all might. What is it?

These look like perfect "Dub Magazine" type wheels.
All the chrome, and all the weight. Wheel companies concentrating solely on looks, and don't bother with performance, and don't care about weight. Their designs are very basic, in a beginner type of way.

I don't think this is so well said....nothing personal.
Chrome is the best finish imo. It gives the most eye-catching quality of any surface. If anyone says they spend thousands on wheels without wanting good looks, they are not being honest. All that stuff about weight...it's only at most most 2 lbs per wheel. Unless you're racing, that's neglible. It's not even worth mentioning and I'm amazed that so many intelligent people continue to name it as a consideration.
Okay, if you don't like the look of chrome, these wheels can be done in whatever finish a person wants. I see nothing that makes them any more or less attractive than other brands. The styles are about the same....multispokes, 5 spokes....looks like the offerings from others, with some variation but not much.
I don't work for Donz nor do I know anyone who does. I just think too many people say stuff on the net that doesn't make much sense. I like the wheels posted here but some of their other designs I'm not a fan of. That doesn't mean I should go around saying I don't like Donz wheels. It affects others. Next thing someone else will see it and repeat it without consideration. For no logical reason other than the power of suggestion.
That's not cool.
Just be careful what you say.

^It all depends on the person Ice. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
You personally like chrome. I think chrome went out of style in the 90's.
Just goes to show the difference between the 2 of us.

Put it this way.....all of these new school Donz type companies are light years behind companies like BBS, OZ Italy, Ray's Engineering, Enkei, etc. They might look pretty to some of us, but to the rest of us, I would only use them as boat anchors!

Chrome is not really an issue here. You guys are saying you don't like Donz. One guy even said they were "garbage." That's strong stuff. Would any of you want your product called garbage by someone who doesn't have any experience with it?
I don't think any of the wheels above are even chrome. One is polished, one carbon fiber, one black and the last is high polished. Besides, every company can do chrome so that isn't my point. It's saying something is bad without a qualifying reason. If Donz uses the same metal as everyone else that negates that aspect. If they use the same forging process, that's another negated issue.
All of us have pet peeves.
Mine is seeing people say something bad about something else without information or facts. If it's just looks then that's cool. It's not logical if they look like lot's of other wheels on the market but at least it's not slamming the entire company.

My question is why do need yet another wheel co? It's not like there is a lack of choices at this point and there's nothing ground breaking with their designs.
