   All,
   
   I am looking to get some banded steels for my Saxo as I'm heading down the euro route. Does anyone know where I can get this done?
   
   I have seen bandedsteels.com but they seem rather expensive to get done. If anyone has any info please let me know
   
   Thanks.

   wide wheels are the same company as bandedsteels.com
   
   get one ebay, search for banded steels, theres someone in liverpool advertises on ebay that does them for about half the price of bandedsteels

   Friend of mine does them, but he wont do them for a customer only friends as he cant guarentee them.
   
   Also if you think banded steelies are expensive you might not want to look into the "euro" scene too much. Probably the most expensive scene to be a part of.

    weather hes spent money on his car is completely irrelevant, what he said is true, if your going down the euro route you shouldn't make threads saying how expensive things are, things cost what they cost, either go hard or go home don't do a half hearted attempt becasue it'll look rubbish

    i'm sorry, I don't understand all this slang. Learn proper English and I might be able to talk to you. And yes, I don't know anything about the money you've spent on your car, nonetheless maybe you can take your own advice and spend some of this claimed money on making it a bit better!
