Abstract. The aim of this paper is to show that for every Banach space (X, · ) containing asymptotically isometric copy of the space c0 there is a bounded, closed and convex set C ⊂ X with the Chebyshev radius r(C) = 1 such that for every k ≥ 1 there exists a k-contractive mapping T : C → C with x − T x > 1 − 1 k for any x ∈ C.
