re rimmed wheels

[John]

^^^ a freind of mine stuck his pinto powered rod into the wall at buxton recently at approx 70 mph flat chat, rim did not split or crack, it just bent it in two.
Personally i've seen some split rimmed euro steelies and i think they looked top notch and i'd have no problem putting them on my show car. (IMO!!)
After all you should see how many seam welds hold together a new astra rim, you'd be very surprised!

Lol novacabrio, those above are the very same rims i've seen!!!!!!!! They look excellent!!

I may stand corrected, but ive seen em go very very wrong in the Dub scene!!

IMHO i wouldnt!

[Philsutton]

maybe people in the vw area cant weld very well

[Stoo]

PMSL Probably

You ever seen the rat look?? Cant even be assed painting em !

stu i think your getting mixed up between banded rims and re rimmed, banded rims is where the wheel is cut and a section put in to widen them highly illegal and dangerous as you say - however re rimming is perfectly safe and legal re rimming is exactly that - the centres of a standard wheel welded into a completely new wider rim

i can see you feel strongly on the subject and appear to be against the euro look completely
