I hope not.  Grin
Look fine. James, the guy we dealt with, passes them to his mate to actually cut & weld. A tidy job. They do a lot for stock car racers, so if they can take the pounding they get, they should be fine for a Reliant. He says he's checked with his local Police & DVLA & neither have a problem with banded wheels, but obviously, you should inform your insurance company about any non standard parts fitted. Wink

Had a thought. Can all rim's take tubeless tyres?

They reckon they'll be O.K tubeless. You can buy a sealant to paint over the inside but James said he had his own mark 2 Escort rims banded 11 months ago & just had them blasted & powder-coated & they've been fine. I'd fit tubes as a back up though if we can get them.

Tubeless rims have a deeper dish in order for the tyre to be fitted,this is so the tyre beed has a harder job to jump up to the edge of the rim,  caravaners have problems with the tyre's running the rims when they use at a low pressure, and often the wheels are of the small dish type.

We run our rear tyres at around 15 psi. Any more & the back end gets too skittery.
