G'day people, I have a quick question and I'm after some opinions good and bad. I like the look of the Typhoons rims, the ones that are on Superdans picture of his car (sorry mate, no good at posting pictures) and I can get a set of replicas from Mr Mag in Morley for 1350 clams.

Question, has anybody dealt with Mr Mag and would you trust buying replicas? They look like originals but....Factory rims are STUPIDLY expensive and not worth it. What do you guys reckon?

Cheers Brendan

you can get them of ebay, which may be a little cheaper. I dont think dans are genuine, perhaps shoot him a pm. I haven't heard of anyone having trouble with them (they cant be worse than the factory rims re flaking anyway!)

Avoid Mr Mag at all costs mate! I bought a set of 19's from there for my EL a few years back and he gave me the wrong offset rims twice :gunsfiring: It took about 4 months and a heap of arguing back & forth for me to get the right wheels.

Howdy y'all,

Saw my car on the dyno at XFT, made 299rwkw with a base tune, but sadly the fuel pump was leaning out. So it's gotta stay for another day and get a walbro installed. The power will be capped at 300 anyways, to preserve the T5.

I'm happy with that number, but I'll be happier still when I can drive it :spoton:

Thanks guys for the advice on Mr Mag, I also got the impression that perhaps they were a little shady. :spoton:

I'd prefer the genuine product but at $900 a pop, they are a little pricey.

Chubbzilla, what sort of mods have you had done?

I came to the same conclusion about Mr Mag, ended up using TyrePower CanningVale - Paul , we have Speedy Cheetahs 19", he was way infront on price from anywhere metro I found, would be worth at least your 40 cents.
