hey guys
well the time has come and i've decided to get some new shoes
now the only problem is i dont know what to get :confused:
im not sure whether to keep it multi-spoke or go for less spokes
i've been looking at the speedy wheel range
http://www.speedywheels.com.au/alloy.htm
theres some in there i like but its hard unless i see them on the car
so im just wondering what you guys reckon would look good on my car
i've got some that i like in the above poll
or throw me acouple of ideas
im chasing a set of 18's now (the rims i want they dont make in 19's for magnas :()
heres a pic of the car:

i think thaqt people should answer his question, give an opinoin on those three rims, then have our own say, we arent really helping him lol
out of those three, im really a fan of black rims, but not a fan of that spoke pattern, so stick with the cheetah, my suggestion is get the cheetah in the black :)

last i heard there's only one brand making a tyre made for a 19" rim with a 94 load rating and to suit a magna was $600 a corner,this was from several tyre shops about 16 months ago so if things have changed please let me know

no doubt you have to pick the inferno rims, BUT in the chrome.... would look sweet as.
The black would be better if the car was black... but with the silver keep it close. and get the silver or chrome.

thanks for peoples inputs so far
if someone would be able to chop the rims onto my car that would be tops also :)
i would do it but i cant work out photochop lol
19inch konig unknown
i was thinking of getting them when i started seeing people get them and they suit pretty well
last i heard there's only one brand making a tyre made for a 19" rim with a 94 load rating and to suit a magna was $600 a corner,this was from several tyre shops about 16 months ago so if things have changed please let me know
will get back to you on this one mate, might pop post my tyre place on the way home tomorrow to check out some prices
i like the adrenilans in wet silver
yeah i like these rims to but didnt realise they came in 19's until i relooked at the catalog,
which was the same time as your post lol
there is a silver TW in mandurah with the Cheetah hyper silvers in 19". looks very very sexy. I vote highly for them :)

Voted for the Cheetah. I've always liked that style of rim. Plus I don't like the thin spokes on the other two.

Is that you can on get the rims for a magna in 18", or is 18" the biggest you can legally fit?

i can fit 19's and still be legal, what i ment was the rims that im thinking of getting only come in 18's for magnas or in other words speedy wheels dont do 19's for magnas

How about these? Starcorp Racing Fusion Shadow Chrome (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=117).
They look almost identical to the Cheetah hyper silvers and come in 19" (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=&part_no=419).

i reckon the cheetas look good, nice bit of dish!
the envy mk2 is alright but the infernos are dripping with rice IMO

I've just done hyper silver 18's with 245/45/18's and I reckon they look alright. Watch Magna Mods page for photos later today
