now between helping my mates with there first gen magnas i have been doing a few little thing to my magna. now i know these arent any in ya faces 18" chromies but there 10 fold better than my current 14x5.5 steelies. Oh and a :thumbsup: to fudgeical for letting me take em off his hands. there just 15"x6 tp elite factory alloys. ive got 1 more left to paint before i polish and give em a coat of clear. so heres some before and after shots. my finger tips just hurt uploading these pics. lot of hours was spent on each one with 400 grit wet and dry but it does get all the marks out and factory casting marks just gotta sit there all day.

now after this im going on a road trip down to tamworth in september so im gonna stop in brisbane and see if i can find a elante kit, then when im back from the trip ill respray her with the kit on.already got the paint just want a body kit on there so i can paint it all at once plus a small body mod but i wont go into that right now.

wow, how long have you spent on those wheels man? mine took like 30 hours of painting and polishing it killed me, these should look sweet as once done

:thumbsup:

a long time. about a day per one and ive still got one left. even then thats only painting on the black and removing as much of the casting marks and scratches as humanlly possible. Once the last one is done like that then i have to go over them agin with 1500 grit to clean up the edges of the paint and to get a better base for polishing them then laying a coat or 2 of clear on them to make sure most of the shine stays. but im pretty happy the way there coming along so far. getting the first gen alittle better bit by bit.

lol hope ur havin fun cleanin those up! Should look nice when their on. So hurry up n get some pics! :D

Sweet, should try and make some modifications with a milling machine.

Cutting away everywhere where there is black paint would be one...

just saw the pics then, they dont look bad considering stock they look fugly as good work

ok about time. there all painted , cleaned and new tyres on em. i am missing a centre cap on one so ive got to keep an eye out for that. so now the seach begins for a boby kit then a respay yeeeha. heres before and after pics
