Wheel Wednesday: Domingo Mags
In America, Domingo’s is synonymous with pizza but to a South African car lover, a totally different dish comes to mind. The dish that comes to mind here is a “Deep Dish”, which has nothing to do with food and everything to do with wheels. If you’ve ever watched the show “Cake Boss”, that’s exactly how I imagine the atmosphere in Domingo Mags to be. An authentic family business that is based on passion, pride and good ol laughs, I’m sure fights as well. From shiny Alfa Romero’s to fancy supercars, Domingo Mags has a set of wheels for you. I’m a lover of all things real and that’s the feeling you get when you’re at the store, real car guys, we need more of that in South Africa.
Domingo Mags is the largest South African importer of a Japanese wheel company called Work Wheels. These are premium wheels aimed at the high end segment. Cars like Nissan GTR’s, BMW M4’s and more have been seen donning a set overseas and locally, so if you want a set there’s only one place to go and that’s on Mint Street in Fordsburg. The Domingo family have been in the car game for a very long time now so they know their story. They can tell you all about professional racing which they were heavily involved in for many decades. I get all nostalgic when I hear stories of families like these because growing up, my brother and my motoring influences came from grandfathers and uncles who helped pave the way for our passions too. I salute you Domingo Mags for representing petrol-heads in South Africa so gracefully. Happy Wheel Wednesday.
