saw some 14x8 banded steels at 450 on the local forum, looked uber cool on the mk1 :laugh:

my new mission is to get some 15's banded to 8inch and use them for winter wheels hahaha!

It's a complex subject, They are not strictly illegal. It's down to an MOT testers decision.

hehe, love the sig - i spent £20k on my forza motorsport 2 golf....btw is the game not just on the 360 - would love a pc version (i drive a £30k kitted lancia delta integrale now - sweeeet) back on topic.....why are they illegal? plus, if its an mot thing - then surely other wheels can just go on. wheels are wheels are wheels as long as they are tucked under the arches.
