They are not, but I believe as long as the tyre is covered then you will be ok, so with stretched tyres you should get away with it.

They look like they may stick out even with stretched tyres on tbh  :undecided:

they look legal and safe  :huh:

+1 (I'm going to agree to with sharpie  :shocked:) - they don't look legal.

seeing as banded steelies have been used in motorsport for many, many years, im sure they will be fine pootling round on a golf!

Camber them then, or it may be time for a bit of an arch pull  :cool:

your going to have some major problems fitting tyres to those mate the recess in the middle dont look like it would allow you mite get away with it when fitting the the outer part of the tyre onto the rim you will have to squash both beads into that recess its guna be tight if you look at most wide rims they have a shallow bead at the back which is usually very wide
