Homemade 7jx13 banded steel wheels

No lathe, no problem :D
One afternoon of work with limited tools.

I would not use these wheels on road going vehicle, for that I would build a proper jig but they do not shake below 100km/h which is about 5x more than what I would consider the safe speed of the pickup they were build for.

Nice job. I like that you’ve kept it simple and just got on with the project as opposed to embarking on several side quests to get the job done. I’ve been procrastinating banding some wheels for years now. One of the blocks I’ve had is to do with safety and using the wheels on the road. Over time and having trawled the internet for opinions on this, I’ve come to the conclusion that, if your welds have good penetration and you’ve maintained reasonable accuracy, these are no more unsafe than any other wheel on the road. If you can weld the rest of the vehicle, why not the wheel? Anyway, thanks for the vid. All the best.

Great video ! Exactly what I need to do for my Morris Minor wheels that are 4j that need widening to get tyres that fit and don't cost a fortune.. I need to ask, what gauge of metal did you use?
I appreciate you helping me out if at all possible.

Banded steel wheels are a controversial topic to start with but homemade banded wheels are just wrong.

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of physicals will tell you Do Not Do This Yourself.
