Basically involves cutting the centre of the wheel out and welding it further back (or welding a new dish on) to make a nice deep dish. To say there not TUV approved is a bit of an understatement!! :lol:

They took the weels appart on the point where the dich hits the wheel. Then they weld a round strip in that was 2,5 inch wide.

I have 175/50-13 tires in front, and 195/45-13 at the back. To give it a nice streched look..
