Barry 03309003867 He had a load of green Dakar wheels in stock last week. Plus the run flat rings if you're interested in putting an extra 15kg inside each wheel! |

Don't forget that the Evo Dakars are different to the Blindos, have a different spoke pattern, and a lower load rating. They are however similar and I have seen military vehicles with a mix of the two types.

Interesting - looks like Blindos on the ground and a Dakar as the spare.

I keep looking but can't any difference - what are the differentiating features?

The most noticeable difference is the number and spacing of the spokes.
The Dakar has twelve unevenly spaced (alternately small and large gaps). The Blndo has fifteen evenly spaced. Simples! |

Thanks - I'm going to have to count (in a Rainman fashion) spokes on every Blindo/Dakar type wheel I see from now on...

It's easier just to go on the spacing: even = Blindo, uneven = Dakar.
