banded steels

[DaveM-sport]

Looking for some 16s but must get 4 or 6 15s too if I can.

VW wheels will do for the 15s but must try find some senic or mini wheels for 16"s.

Had some that I had banded in all that just had to be blasted down and sent off for powder-coating with some other bits but a friend twisted my arm for them, lol.

Ah right, I'm looking to swap my 14" banded g60 steels for some nice 16' normal alloys. Bit schmall for you.

[DaveM-sport]

yeah, bit small really although they didn't look bad on Eric's E30 really.


banding them isn't a problem anyway, its just finding a few sets of the wheels is the tricky bit

And you'll do mine when i get some nice 15/16's?

[DaveM-sport]

Haha, get an extra set of them for me and I'm sure something could be arranged

What Size ET you looking for? 16's in 4x100 and et 45?

[DaveM-sport]

Should be fine depending on what width they are with that ET.

Will be making 8s and maybe 9s so ET45 should work perfectly if they are around 6.5J to start with.

Well suggest a better ET before i look for some Was just thinking if ET is 35-45 then starting @ 45 would give the most room to band? (i'm talking about steels for you BTW)

[DaveM-sport]

Cool, I'll do my sums there and see what will work best

[DaveM-sport]

Just working it out there.

Some 6.5s with ET35 will work best for making 8s-9s so some 15s or 16s in 4.100 and ~57.1 center bore would be perfect.
ET45s will do too if I go mad and go making 10-10.5s but I'll probably have problems trying to clear the coilovers and chassis legs when lowered or on full lock without extra spacers and silly amount of arch work on the front.

Let me know about whatever you find anyway and can choose then.

Thats for fitting my car that usually would take a 7-8J wheel with an ET of around 15-25.

If people are wondering what they can uss, I can work out what sizes other people would suit best if they tell me what size wheels normally fit the car or wheels and/or spacers they use to clear coilovers etc.
