_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 2m 22d Posted 17/05/09 07:06 AM Share Posted 17/05/09 07:06 AM (edited) I reckon they look fine. The price was right eh? You already had them, whats it take to whack a set of wheels on sh!ts and gigs.Although I`d rather skol a gallon of rat p!ss before I`d have that rivet look on my own wheels, they still look perfectly okay.If they got legal tyres, even more of a win.However, how much to they tart up that magna.. Could get a few more sheckles for it with `em on it .. dunno.

LOL But seriously it really is up to me and in a week or so I'll have decided whether or not I like them, I do agree that the spokes are a bit thin for a bulky car and rims like these are probably more suited to a Skyline etc, and as _Spin_ said I may get more for the Magna with them back on it. thanks heaps for your honest comments guys, it's much appreciated.

mattyt78 Member 7 Member For: 16y 5m 2d Posted 18/05/09 09:35 AM Share Posted 18/05/09 09:35 AM I think you would find that if you lowered the car the wheels would look a lot better. The problem is the gap between the tyre and guard makes the wheels look smaller than they really are.In the end if your happy who cares what anyone else thinks.
