I would be very careful because the magna must have bigger hubs....

I have a feeling (am not sure though) that the stud pattern and possibly the offset are exacttly the same.

the VRX has different (5 X 114) hubs than the other lancers (4 X whatever) and yes the offset is the same as the Magna. Catch is they're only 6" wide, so they'll fit but they're a bit skinny as such.

Thanks for that. I have only just picked them up they are almost brand new. Still in the boot at the moment. Problem is I was told they were 7 inches wide(they are 6) & came off a Magna. This is the first Magna I have owned so my knowledge on Magna's is nil. You just cant trust EBAY. Thanks for the advice. I still need wheelnuts yet & hopefully I can get them from a dealer.:cry:

if they've got the Lancer tyres on them you're up for tyres as well as the Lancer's overall outside diameter on the tyre will be too small for the Magna (meaning that the tyre will be too low a profile for the rim size on the Magna). I believe the Lancer will be a 195/50/R16 tyre but the equivalent Magna Rim would run 215/60/R16 I think, which is a taller, fatter tyre.

see the bottom of the page here for tyre specs on the various magnas - with 16 X 6" rims:
