I think i asked the question a long while back but cant remember who was suggested. I need my wheels banding, but i have emailed a few companies who either don't reply or cant do them because they are 3 stud. Any suggestions? I tried some banded steels on my car today and now i MUST get it done. The person who did these is no longer available.   |

What about getting a single wheel adapter made 4x100 to your 3 stud? They have no excuse then.
Those wheels look awesome btw

MrSpeedy is the banding guy around these parts. Not sure about the 3 stud issue though - I guess they need a 3 stud fitment on their lathe or something?

This is all my own assumptions of why some companies may turn down 3 stud wheel bandings so I could be miles off the mark  - I do know companies have banded 3 stud wheels in the past as some smarts were running them in the early 2000s. |

Wouldn't a spare hub be a ready made adaptor plate ?
Just musing.
Good luck with your search.

I have sent contact forms to AC Fabrication and bandedsteels off the top of my head with no reply, a local chap who used to do them and made the ones i tried on my car, he no longer does them (though I'm asking really nicely) I will try calling mr speedy later on and see if he can help. |

HI mate, How did you get on with the banding wheels? Looks really good with wide steels. Especially the original type wheels just wider |

Dreadful really having asked for advise, got it, found someone to do it and then having the cheek not to post piccys!!
The cheek! The audasit......aoudasit......The cheek.
