Banded steels?! They look crazy!!

Are they illegal over there like they are over here? Your car continues to impress

How come they're illegal over here?

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!!

I did think they looked a bit deep for steelies

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..
