Has anybody had any experience with these wheels? Any good? Or worth while spending a bit more on a more well known brand? Are they lightweight?

I've got some, 17x9 +15 offset. They're not the heaviest wheels I've seen, but they're not what I would call lightweight either.

For the price I would say they are reasonable. Is there a magwarehouse.com near you or are you looking at them on trademe?

Yeah they're a magwarehouse brand wheel (dot com, get it?).

Tsoob would be the best person to get info about them from.

Cheers for that, Im just pricing up things for what I want to do a project MR2, and see you can get them in staggered 17x7 and 17x9 for a pretty reasonable price, so they are appealing.

They were 17x8 front, 17x9 rear. Front fitted mint, just needed a shorter tyre (215/45 hits spring perch) and rear could do with a guard roll. Were mint otherwise 8)
