   It will have been done very carefully either with vinyl or paint
   
   Would take hours to mask up just one wheel...
   
   I would guess the corsa you are talking about though is Vinyl

   There is a system, seen it on american chopper, they put a transfer type thing in some water, it lyes on the top of the surface then you dip whatever you want doing in an it transfers onto the parts

    you can get wide steels.
    banding costs loads i've heard.
    they are called weller steels, look pretty much like them wheels, but without the chequers.
    you will prob have to get that done. havent seen a set of wheels that you can buy like that.
