$400 posted is a decent price for those rims.

yes he is asking way too much. i have a pair of them sitting in the shed at a mates places off my TH (previous owner bought them) but i don't really want to sell them. i think around $400 is a fair price, depending on tyres. there are plenty of people on here with them, i'm sure someone would have some for sale. have a look through the for sale section on here.

they were on quite a few different models, including the Verada and Commonwealth editions, maybe some sports too?
my dad has them on his TE wagon, and we only paid $400 for the set

Then I believe my Verada Kj Ei rims are of the newer model?
Just sharing some thoughts.
These rims were quite common on for sale section under $400 and below.

the advantage of the magna being fwd is that you can run a different size spare safer than a rwd car. with a rwd car if the diameter is too much different then you can damage your diff if you put it on the rear and have to drive a long distance (like stuck in the middle of no-where). and it isn't safe to put 2 different sizes on the front. with a fwd the rear wheels are basically only there to keep the rear end off the ground, LOL.
but if you have the right tyre sizes the diameter should be pretty much spot on. but either way, just look at how many cars have space saver spare wheels. most imports, some hsv's, etc.

Exactly. My road tyres are 235/40/18 but my spare tyre is 225/55/16. I would use the spare tyre temporarily until the road tyre was repaired or replaced but that's just me :D

also call around tyre places (tyre power, The tyre factory, etc etc) and see if they've had any tradeins... its how i did my old rims, sold for $300 tradein, and the guy said he'd be lucky to get $50 for them... so could be worth seeing what mitsu rims they have

2nd ones for sure, the others look much older
and i think the 1st ones are 15", and the 2nd are 16", bigger is better!

They're both 16's, first set are either off a KE/KF Ei or a TF Sports. Second set off a KJ Ei.
I'd go with the KJ rada wheels myself.

Definitely KE/KF Ei
TF Sports had a shadowy black look with machined faces.

At least you got the 5! That's pretty good.
does anybody know if ill need to get new wheel nuts, been a while for me, but i remember some cars had a tapered wheel nut for mags, and a flat one for steels, or the other way round?
and yep all 5, so they all the same size, even the spare, just incase.
They should be tapered nuts.
I think the steelies have the same as the standard magna mags. (cost cutting exercise)
