Banded steelies....

[Kamarley]

Im looking into getting a set of stock steelies banded how wide should i go? just wondering as i dont want them to look ridiculous but i was good handling and for it to look SICK!

Just head over to retro rides. Pretty much every dubber over there has banded steels, you should get an idea of what you would like.

You need to decide on width like you said and also offset.

It's all down to personal preference but you should aim for something that will fit under the arches with tyeres.

Hoopdubs recently had some banded steels made, I think it was a 2" band which bought the rim a little past the arch with a little bit of dish.

Or you can have a 3.5-4" band with a very low offset and forever have trouble fouling the arches and tyres rubbing

 

[Kamarley]

yeah i like it when they just stick out a little gotta look deep dish

 

[Kamarley]

what is offset?

 

[skymera]

what is offset?

The position of the wheel centre relative to the width of the wheel

 

[hoopdub]

7x14 front ET20 7.5x14 rear ET13 Should sit nice, backspace is unchanged from standard, so 2" band in the front pair 2.5" in the rear pair

 

[Kamarley]

offset zero? negative will be too deep i think....? and what steelies fit on the k11? i think its 4x100 pcd?...

 

[hoopdub]

the steel on the floor in the pic of mine is off a clio. i had standard k11 steels banded

 

[Kamarley]

im looking on the scrappy website thats all http://www.silverlake.co.uk/parts/

 

[hoopdub]

should be able to do you 4x standard 14" k11 steels for £40 plus post

 

[Kamarley]

£23 a rim at the scrappy.....

 

[Kamarley]

thats another like £90 on top of the £200 for the banding and the tires!

 

[hoopdub]

being cool isnt cheap

 

[Kamarley]

would you advise me to order my corsa b coilovers when i send the steels off?.... plus i dont have a clue how to fit the coilovers!!!!

Nope im afraid, wrong pcd

 

[McMicra]

PCD?

Achwell, might just get the stockones banded, dont want any poke from rims just sitting flush with the tyres and a bit of a dish

the steel on the floor in the pic of mine is off a clio. I would like Mine on those steelies.. Are they 15" rims bud ?...

 

[Elonexx]

The stud pattern, micra is 4x100 but the wheel you linked is 4x108
I was looking at getting some steels from a Peugeot, but they're 4x108 too

 

[McMicra]

yeah not fun, tried looking for 13" alloys but for some reason the 13" is more expensive than a 15" set... i dont get it haha
