question: what's with the kadett? The wheels look like the standard rostyle-style ones as fitted to kadetts / shove-its, Chav mk1's etc, but clearly much deeper dished. Can anyone explain? Is the centre shiny bit just trim that can be applied to any steel rim??

Banded steels I think, where the centre is cut out and welded to a wider rim. very difficult and dangerous if done badly, which is why its illgeal here i think. But in Germany and the US I have seen a few cars with widened steels, its a great look.  |

'Banded' wheels involve a strip of metal inserted between the cut halves of a standard rim...it's a difficult job to do right and they were declared illegal as a result. Swapping centres over to a wider rim is less frowned upon, although again it is a specialised job. More steels:    Those last two are from www.kac-opelclub.de, there's some good stuff in the gallery. |
