Steel wheel banding :)

[W1ll]

Hi chaps,

Recently got some steel wheels that I am looking into getting banded...
However they appear to have some sort of wierd look wheel bolt adaptor or something on them? Any ideas what these are (I have never seen them before) and if they can be removed.... as I want a 'smoother' look with the banded steels so these look horrible imo..!



Thanks in advance!

that's a spare wheel from an early 306 that had alloys as the main wheels, its a flat seat so you can use the normal alloy wheel bolts on them.


I'm not sure if the seat under the insert is the same, they might be.

Barely noticable once youve got bolts in surely.

Dont they knock out?

Yea they knock out with a hammer and chisel

I have them on all four of the wheels, did briefly try with a hammer and chisel with no luck.. but then I was giving it full welly as I wasn't actually sure if they were removable without damage to the wheel! So a bit more effort and these should come out.. then I will be ok to use my standard steel wheel bolts...?

Knock them out, there just adaptors so you can use OEM alloy bolts to hold the steel wheel on, probs a bit rusted in but will remove, normal taper underneath.

And yes you can deffo notice them, big flat seating steel bolts look awful clumsy on steels!
