banded wheels

Post by briain »

Got an idea to get some banded steelies and run them with hubcaps. Are these legal on Irish roads and were would I get them done? Also what sort on money would I be looking at? I'm thinking about 12" wheels 6" wide.

Hey man I was hopin to get some banded steels to but aint sure on whether theyre legal or not (plus I got no money) but theres a crowd in england that specialise in them (http://www.bandedsteels.com/Banded%20Steels.html) And they would prob charge around £330 sterling for them I think!! Think you will prob have to put tubes into them for the tyres!!
