We study the effect of the Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction on the electronic states and spin relaxation rates of cylindrical quantum dots defined on quantum wires having wurtzite lattice structure. The linear and cubic contributions of the bulk Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling are taken into account, along with the influence of a weak external magnetic field. The previously found analytic solution for the electronic states of cylindrical quantum dots with zincblende lattice structures with Rashba interaction is extended to the case of quantum dots with wurtzite lattices. For the electronic states in InAs dots, we determine the spin texture and the effective g-factor, which shows a scaling collapse when plotted as a function of an effective renormalized dot-size dependent spin-orbit coupling strength. The acoustic-phonon-induced spin relaxation rate is calculated and the transverse piezoelectric potential is shown to be the dominant one.
