Well, banded steelies are illegal for road use in this country. So I imagine it might be very hard to find a set.

hmm i see, ive found a company that i think make steel wheels from scratch, and make custom ones. Im assuming if i got steel ones made which were wider than average this would be legal? thanks chaps

So are these for 13s 7" wide made from scratch yeh? Sounds quite cheap at Â£30 each if postage isn't huge. Keep us updated

Right the guy emailed me back and has said basically that the only company they'll ship through is UPS, and the price for just shipping is $545 which makes it about Â£300(ish). I think thats gonna be too much for me to pay on just shipping:S If anyone wants the email address for the guy though let me know

I like those R&A ones by the way, do they do a deeper dished wheel do you know?
