The only reason they were illegal was because of the posibilities for crappy welding.

Wide-wheels have had their welding certified, and all sets of wheels from them are legal because of that

Even if you get them from somewhere else, all you need to do is make sure the welds can't be seen from the outside and the Police can't really do much as they'd struggle to prove the wheels were banded at the roadside
