marv Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Made a start to making my own banded steelies got the wheel loaded up in the lathe and parted off the lip, I then cut some strips of 3mm steel an rolled them. I then tacked the band to the outer lip, loaded the wheel back in the lathe to true it all up as best I could and tack weld the rim back on. Just got another 3 todo now an fully weld them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayhoath83 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I really like banded steels n i cant wait 2 c urs done! im looking for some rims but i want 16's n its hard to find any steelies that are 16 with a 4x114 pcd so ill keep looking but it dont look promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Lol good find tom! I went to a local scrappy and asked if they had any steels from an almera/primera or accord. Was very lucky to find 4 accord steels sitting on the rack marked up with 4x114.3 on them been wanting a set for ages but companies were wanting like £90 plus postage for 4 steels hope to the other two split,rolled and tacked by tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or look for some 16s and use a pcd adapter but means you could go as wide. Honda may do some in 4x100 so could do a hub swap. A lot of bother for an extra inch lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
