Big Supes Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Running out of options for alloy wheel banding. A place in Germany seem to be doing it, but that is going to get costly. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Did that place in essex that Baldy mentioned not do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzy T Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) There's a guy called Zak Williamson based in Uxbridge that does it @sacktheoriginal on instagram. This is a set of BMW rims he did recently if the link works... http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/edeb5008967f11e3816f0eceecffb26d_8.jpg Edited March 4, 2014 by Fizzy T (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be careful banding the wheels mate especially if you are doing stock 17's or something as trying to find a 315 or similar section rear tyre in 17" form is incredibly difficult/nigh on impossible from looking, unless you want to poo your pants in the rain and use R888's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 315's are a bitch after speaking with Steve.m. I was thinking about 305's as, apparently, they're easier to source. I'm currently running low on clean underwear running full bpu in the wet as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Managed to speak to Banded Wheels Essex and Zak Williamson... both don't touch alloy wheels. Just waiting on Alloy Weldcraft to come back to me. In the meantime, I think I'll tap up some old contacts who are constantly tig welding alloy on boats to see if they fancy it...
