Hi all, Another newbie here. Firstly i'd like to say great site and some really nice cars on here. I know its not reto in anyway shape or form but I'm currently in the process of euro styling a Rover 25. I've so far puchased some coilovers to get it nice and tarmac slapping low and a few other bits and bobs but the thing i really want is wide as possible steel wheels. Possibly 14 or 15 inch but i was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get some standard Rover steels banded? I know its illegal but i really want them to finish off the look. I'm in the midlands area if that helps  |

The wheels did look well made:  It's not him that does them, but he knows the bloke that does. Apparently they're done on an expensive machine involving lasers and the like! ^ Those ones are powder coated, which isn't included in the price. |
