Both are excellent looking wheels. Depends on your personal taste and what the rest of your Defender looks like. The Sawtooth looks very modern, but will probably take a while longer to clean (so many spokes). The ZUīs have a classic look, and are very easy to clean. My LR workshop who fitted mine was very impressed how light they are.
Also worth keeping in mind, the ZUīs stand about 18 mm further out than the Sawtooths. Both 7x16 but with a different offset. Stephen 1998 Tdi 90 SW, 2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MTīs, Recaro CSīs, anorak, wellingtons |

Either way if you do get bored you'll have no issues knocking either set on. I have two sets of Mach 5s one 15" X 10 and another 16" X 8. Affords me the option of having one set refurbished and changing the colour and/or size if desired whilst maintaining mobility.

Hi Pickles,
I'll vote Zus in the poll as they look like Mach 5s. Tyres are 11.5" wide. Loads more pictures in my gallery.

Currently running Anthracite ZU's but they will soon be replaced with Anthracite Sawtooth's. ONE LIFE, GET IT!

Have gone for Sawtooths in the end. I will keep the Zu's with the noisy Kumo's and get them re ballanced for off road and winter use. So in the end a win win! Cheers Don.
