'Banded Out' Rims?

[Perez]

On this website:  http://www.fjmods.btinternet.co.uk/Wheels.htm

About half way down the guy talks about taking older rims and having them 'banded out'

What is it, and is it worth it? I bet it would be really expensive.

It makes the rims wider. Not really worth it unless you have ABS or have some unhealthy love for your stock wheels.

I'd be curious to know what it costs.....Its must cost 4X compared to any of the refit or mod options....

Here in Windsor Calif, we have a expert, Sandy Kosman, who provides this service: http://www.kosman.net/weldup.htm
Yep, it's expensive, but for FJ folks who want to retain their ABS and have a 3.5x17" front and 5.5x17" rear, this is the way to go...

Sandy Kosman is well known in the drag racing circles, he makes a bitchen pro-stock frame.   HTH  Pat

OMG! 2 rims will cost me half of what I paid for the bike!

If you want to play your going to pay  Buying the bike is the cheep part and then the $$$ just keep going up from there.
