Love the wheels mate
could you not have used the rear/inner section/band of another set of wheels so as only to have 1 weld!!!

Mate of mine has an Si rep with a 2.0 silver top Zetec, goes like stink for a standard engine

I reckon hey we're rolled and machine welded personally

Not saying you couldn't do it your way, butmive beea precision turner for 6 years and I've never used a laser to clock something up on a manual before. Nor would a take a grinder to a inner wheel lip and expect them to be safe.

Looks different though and different is good
