See how steel rims are widened
Now we need to do something with the wheels for a splitty, it could change em for a lower wheels but that's been done before so what we want to go for is that really cool Halfmoon look which is a hub cap that goes on the wheel problem is with the wheel with this profile the hubcap sticks out a little bit too far.
The only way to counteract that is to make the dish a bit deeper and that's a process called banding and behind this door is a guy called Steve who can help me out Steve has been badly wheels for almost years extending the rim sounds quite simple but it's complex and time-consuming okay what's the first job in the process Sam boss Kashi works to speed get stuck into the wheel for me the surface needs to be spot on and our for about half an hour.
It's looking good and now Steve gets the wheel into a G Cruze it up and not cut off the rim don't try this at home okay so you've cut the top of the rim off yep where we at we've now got to fill the gap with a steel band for the outer rim to attach to which obviously gives you a deeper dish look yeah what would you recommend I would suggest you went with a two inch band on the rears and a one inch band on the front that's because it's a staggered yeah to get the staggered look okay yeah let's do that okay cool steve has the band's precards but the shaping needs to be done by hand my hands so just a nice even motion yet .
Stay there keep it going is there any tips to doing this not to collectors turn the end off after a couple of turns the metal is circle it enough to work with as that they're safe job they're good and Mike I want to do a six-inch one Steam's foster band into place once it's secure and he's happy with the position he adds the old rim then it's on to the jig for a scene world all the way round speed cleans up the world and we get our wheel back only two inches wider it's fantastic all the artworks done there is it yeah all done might yep ready for priming now.
That's exactly what I was open for see the Halfmoon isn't gonna stick out as farm they're exactly brilliant in look look more a wheel takes three coats of paint plus lacquer and that's a whole day to complete a set of four now that wills all been painted up I've gotta say I'm happy with that look at that deep dish look and I just borrowed this off of Steve just to see what the finished article will look like when it goes back on the bus and I got to say it looks fantastic this time it was anything..
