Reuben Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I did it. I, He who hath no moneys, bought a set of mags! I never though I could afford some mags for my car, the car itself would not fetch more than $1500 NZD on trademe (Like ebay for NZ). But a killer deal popped up before my eyes on my local subaru forum, that I could not resist. A guy said he'd sell his wrx mags for $180 if someone could pick them up that night, and without hesitation, I hopped in the car at 9pm and drove for an hour to get what I thought you be some cheap factory things. I was wrong, these are V6 STi mags, 6 spoke gold, and are actually Rays TE37's! Nearly new tyres too, I'd say only 10% worn. They even have carbon fibre logo's and all, for only $130 USD for the lot!!! They are 16", with Falken ZIER ZE512 tyres, 205/50 R16 Epic win Before: http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa208/Pilot_Reuben/leggyright.jpg After: http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa208/Pilot_Reuben/mags2.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa208/Pilot_Reuben/mags1.jpg And yes, it is always grey in Auckland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenc544 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Looks good. I haven't heard people refer to wheels as mags in very long time. I guess since most aftermarket wheels are made from aluminum now-a-days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, true that they aren't actually mags anymore, but that's still the most common name for custom wheels in New Zealand. heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
