Title: banded wheels ! Post by: finnie on December 03, 2011, 01:30:08 PM Hi Guys
I`m thinking of having banded wheels on my 131 ::) Anybody here drive their Fiat with banded steel wheels ? Any pictures or comments ;D Title: Re: banded wheels ! Post by: F131 on December 03, 2011, 01:39:58 PM Do you mean, cutting the rim and welding in a metal band to widen the rim?

I would like to know the possible measurements 6 or 7 x 14 without changing anything on the car 8) Title: Re: banded wheels ! Post by: F131 on December 03, 2011, 03:06:41 PM Used them before, they are OK, if done properly, but don't let any monkey weld it, if it fails you are in for a big shunt.

Have a look at http://www.131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?topic=4616.msg37822#msg37822 (http://www.131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?topic=4616.msg37822#msg37822). Pedja hasn't been on this forum for a while as he was lured away but he may still be receiving PMs so try contacting him.

Post by: sporty darren on December 03, 2011, 10:17:54 PM hi, i had banded wheels on my 131.they were 7x14 on the rears ,on 185/60 tyres. and the did scrap the arche;s a bit with four people in. my mate dave had the same all round, and on the front [as far as i can remember] were fitted 175/70 x14 tyres but you had to remove the plastic arches or they would rub.
