   thanks curran.
   my mate was talking about this, its a shame its not a little cheeper seeing as if i spend that much i may as well get some cheepy deep dish off something. but i suppose you pay for the novelty as well as the precision. they do look tasty... coooor

   you could look at weller wheels. keep and eye out on ebay as they sometimes go cheap.
   
   you can get some with a deep dish on them.

   ebay member ''northwestrscenter'' will band any steel wheels upto 3 inches wider on a lathe for £120! bargain, exactly the same as that wide wheels place just without the stupid price tag!
   
   hope this helps!

   he is answering the original question
   
   BUT if you have some 3 stud steel wheels (i.e. the standard steel wheels that come on 3 stud saxo's) you could get than 'banded'. that is where they weld in a strip of metal to make the wheel wider.
   
   i think they offer to widen them from 1 inch to 3 inches.
   
   would be awesome on a 3 stud saxo as you cant really get many good stud alloys. not euro style ones anyway.
