PJ Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Looks like steel wheels. True, but can probably do alloys, worth a punt and also gives an idea of likely costs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 True, but can probably do alloys, worth a punt and also gives an idea of likely costs too. Alloy is very very specialised so I doubt it. No harm in sending an email though I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 thanks does anyone know what the most a stock arch will take on 18's as mine are 9.5j atm You can get 11" on there at a push. I can't be sure but you may need to roll the arch for that. Might be best to roll it anyway so that you can get a better looking offset.

N4FY D Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 thanks would you say it would be possible to make my 9.5 to 11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 thanks would you say it would be possible to make my 9.5 to 11? There shouldn't be a limit to be honest. The problem is the offset of the wheels. Only the inner side can be extended, so the wider you get them the further in the wheel edge sits. The outer rim remains the same. You can go nuts and just add spacers though.

Supra Gaz Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 this is a big thing in the u.s, i like the idea of getting the alloys i have now banded, a mod for the future maybe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 is this that big jim racing? I could be wrong but I think he is the only person in the UK doing this at the moment. I did do a search around a while back, so if there are other places they are well hidden. So at a guess I would say yes. There was a bit of worry initially as he dropped off the radar for a while. Obviously things were changing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbloodyturbo Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i seem to remember being on an american site that was banding alloys (yanks seem to like rears on the front and another set of rears banded) and they said you could even have a dish put on a set of wheels if you had enough room. I think i asked this question a while back and everyone said they wouldn't touch banded alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
