Makes me feel old

:?

Seriously though, when I was your age I went and bought some mags from magnchurbro for my then car. Biggest waste of coin ever.

My suggestion is scour trademe, you will find decent mags for cheap, and by decent I mean better than SSA.

It doesn't take too much to clean up a set and paint/powdercoat them whatever colour you want.

Then you can spend your saved money on decent tyres which at the end of the day are probably what you shouldnt be skimping on.

Hahaha wtf. I'll bet those multicolour ones mess with people's heads when the car is rolling along!
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

For the record... the mags were curbed before I dusted the cobwebs off of photoshop and edited it (so rusty :? )

After looking at the photoshops for a while (and by the amount of votes its got), i think i will look at getting the bronze ones.

If i get them and get bored of the colour there is always the option of getting them resprayed in which case fluro would be utterly hilarious. :)

An excellent idea, i will keep the steelies for drag racing or burnout contests and use the mags for everyday driving.
