Been offered a set of banded steel wheels in 9Jx14 10Jx14 sizes.

Tell me I'm being silly and how much arch work they'll need

That much stretch looks ridiculous tbh. Not much actual contact area and waaaay too much that could be broken easily. You'd be better off with an 8 wide with a small bit of stretch, putting down nearly all of an 8 wide wheel.
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

I am leaning in that direction, like to give the car a blast every now and then. 10in wheels would not lend themselves to that.

Still might buy them, paint them and sell them on E38 for £££'s :grin:
