I then decided to go for steel wheels, but banded to get the size I wanted. I contacted a set up up north with a nice website and they agreed to source vauxhall wheels, band them, shotblast and spray them. However after four weeks nothing had happened, due to the owner having an accident on his bike. Eventually I received a refund, then began to search for someone else to do the job. Found the wonderful James on some forum, who offered to do the job.
I found a perfect set if Mk1 MR2 Wheels which I sent him.the rears to have a 2" band fitted. Picked them up last weekend.....a perfect job. This is what your mit welding should look like folks.....

I LIKE THEM!
They will have three eared spinners and nice tall tyres!
These are one fwd and one banded rear.

I get them back from the powder coaters tomorrow
I love this idea, can you use any 4x100 steels?
