What about spacers or would that be to much strain on the bearings?

spacers would put more strain on the bearings but so do wide wheels - a small price you have to pay for style :lol:

i think spacers would look better than none but you can't beat a nice deep dish 8) :lol:

next time i've got a wheel off i'll have a look see what can be done :idea: i'm interested in this sort of thing - i dont have access to the machinery to make some banded wheels but i wonder if you could get some cheep wellers knock the middles out and weld in the transit ones :? obviously the rim would have to be the same dia, just something to think about :D
easy enough to fit the wheels you have and if you can get hold of some mefcos or mod some some way then swap them later - painting some wheels doesnt look like it'd take you long :lol:

Just seen an advert for this company in Practical Classics Mag, along with the quote: "All wheels are pressure tested, ready for paint and are road legal"
