hi guys, what do you make of these style of wheels? seen a few corsa's running this type of wheel with a v large width and quite a bit of negative camber, personally i think it looks great. opinions/anyone know where to get these/how much? :slayer:

i think they might look a bit better than black ones atm... might have a look down my local for some... not sure on what the max wheel size i can get is.. dont want like 18's or anything, just want em to be really wide

You want banded steels?

You find a decent steel wheel then send it off to get banded (widened).

Yeh banded steelies look hot as **** if they are pulled off well enough

nice one for the link bud, never heard of banding... gr8 idea..not cheap tho isit! mind you i suppose if they look amazing (which i suppose is kind of the aim for all wheels ) then its worth it as they do tend to look rather amazing.. satin black.. ftw! with some neg camber would look gr8... any ideas what width u can run withouth getting turnin/rubbing issues?

yeah defo, i love your coupe wheels though mate, they are the nuts :slayer:

Not alot depends on your drop, ET and tyres so pretty hard to say. 9j can be run on a punto with camber though.

The only punto I can think of with banded steelies

hmm, mine's not dropped at all atm.. wonder what size wheels gav's running.. (search euro punto, its the silver mk2)

could always get the arches rolled and pulled a bit.. or just get a different car that i can get bigger wheels on

wow that looks hot! do you know what the wheel size is on that??:slayer:

hmm, if i got some i might get slightly smaller width as you can apparently get pulled for having wheels sticking out from under the arches.. unless as i said i got my arches rolled/pulled

Why do you think you add camber?

true. although i like the look of camber, quite a few people have said it affects handling :S

Depends how extreme you do. If you are going euro then what does handling matter? What exactly be going quick.

don't think i'll be going euro, just thought the wheels might be a nice touch with a little camber maybe then ... might pop down to the scrappy in a bit to have a look for some steelies... any way of telling if they are good condish (other than not looking all rusty and mashed) as you can imagine i wouldn't want to buy a load of buckled wheels!

Will look crap if you are just planning on putting on wide wheels and camber.

once finished doing a few bits to it, i'll post some pics of my car, is kind of euro i suppose... debadged, smoothsided etc. i reckon it will look good imo

If your classing that as euro then my car is euro lol
