Red Line Components Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I have 4 steel wheels which have previously been banded and I want to get them returned to their original width. Any recommendations where to get this done, ideally close to Bournemouth. Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 sell the one's you have and buy 4 other like these and get them refurb. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FIESTA-MK2-SET-FOUR-4-1-2J-X-13-108MM-PCD-STEEL-WHEELS-RIMS-135R13-TYRES-/201310484155?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2edf0a36bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted March 20, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted March 20, 2015 Those are 4.5" wide, I'm sure my Weller's are 5.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Line Components Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hmm.. Elie, the wheels needing work are original S2 steels.. but need reduction from 7" to 4 1/2"I wouldnt want to put those you suggested on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Cortina GT wheels? "Un-banding" a wheel sounds quite problematical as the rim will have to be parted-off in two places, both already "full" of weld. Carriage return Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Line Components Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Ok, it is probably better to leave them alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Fair they where a bit rusty but you could try a local tyre fitter for Peugeot / Citroen wheels like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-Stahlfelgen-Felgen-5x13-ET-28-4x108-Citroen-ZX-N2-/390690061425?pt=Auto_Felgen&hash=item5af6f13c71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molecular--Bob Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Weller are making a lotus steel replica now, but i dont think they go down to 4 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Line Components Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks for the tip but the Weller option is not the same as the original Rubery Owen style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
