07/04/2019- We are running a Banded wheel giveway. When we reach 1000 subscribers we will pick one person at random to receive free blasting and banding on their set of 4 wheels worth £260+!

Hi im fascinated by this...i have some questions.. How thick is the steel your using...3mm ? Also if you weld the wheel continuously does it not distort the wheel ? Thanks
Hi, yes they were 3mm bands but we always put a band in that is the same thickness as the wheel for safety. No it does not distort the wheel at all, thanks for watching.
We didn't show in the video that we spin the wheel up in the lathe and true it up. Maybe we will do a updated video soon now that we have a bit more experience filming.
For the cost of a 13" racing wheel. Any width, any backspacing, only two pieces, stronger, lighter, and virtually no run-out? My time on the car is more valuable than this. My dad did a version of this in the 60's, but they didn't have "mass produced, custom" wheels back then.
I've been around race cars all of my 63 years. When it comes to wheels, you aren't looking hard enough. All of the wheel companies I've ever dealt with could build anything I needed, with more precision, less time, stronger, yet lighter, and at a fair price. We've made more for our cars than anybody we raced against. But nothing from the spindles out on the front, or the rotors out on the rear. Not just for safety, but for consistency. For crash repair, if we order the same as last time, we get exactly the same as last time. And if we don't, we can send it back, and not wasted our time.
If you notice, he didn't cut to exact length until the last tack around the wheel. Easier then trying to measure around the wheel to cut the band at the exact length first, and every time.

Wheels so high costing?
You cut the video short how do confirm that the wheel is straight
Does the same tyres fit after the wheelbanding?
how or what keeps the rim turning as you weld?
turned by a reduction gearbox

@@usherengineering179 hi thanks for replying...how much do you charge to band a 14 inch vw t25 wheel...thanks
Nice job man how do you make that stand
I'm not sure.. But that doesn't look like a sure way to make sure the wheel is straight before welding ..

ASME testing has proven that the push or pull welding provide the same strength weld.
Matthew Moilanen But if he was going clockwise it would be going downhill... I don’t think his comment has anything todo with push or pull.
What gauge of band did you use
3mm for this wheel
I’m doing a Vw stock rim have you ever widen one
@@Joni2hjaja yes VW wheels are our most common wheels we have in for banding

You would be surprised what you cant get, and we have to make up

Some people are full of their own sh*t aren’t they?
@@DDS029 these arent aimed at race cars, its more for the look. They obviously have a market if they are doing them . Why so angry 🤣
Tack the ends of the band together first,then you won't have to fight it all the way,yes I have done this.
If you notice, he didn't cut to exact length until the last tack around the wheel. Easier then trying to measure around the wheel to cut the band at the exact length first, and every time.
Tried both, this way to me is a better fit
why you make this so hard? there is much easier way
music name?
shitty
You welding wita TIG, or what?
Mig on wheels
It doesnt look engineered. Dont know if i would be that confident. I'm no expert tho.
