I'm fixing to buy these wheels(pictured below) so I'm just wondering if anyone has any infos on them. They have the same exact dimensions as FDs' stock wheels. The seller stated that they are magnesium wheels made by Magtek, which also supplied wheels for motorcyles,specifically the NSR250. They are pretty light at only 15lbs a piece. He also said they came off a JDM FC3S but someone pointed out that FC3S wouldn't have those offsets. Can anyone shed some light on these wheels...
Thanks!

 

That's dead on with the stock FD's wheels - 16x8 50 offset. Weight is negligibly different.

They're neat, but I dunno if I would spend a lot of money on wheels that are functionally the same as stock.

They can be mine for around $300!!! A whole set at that price is a pretty good deal to me...

 

ya, but they are no better than the stock wheels, hell 93 FD rims are even ligther than that at around 13 lbs, and IIRC 94+ wheels only weigh like 14.5-15 lbs anyway, he's saying why bother buying them when there really is no real advantage to them over stock?

 

Stock wheels are not that light. The early wheels were about 14, later wheels 16 lbs. I do agree that these are not a performance benefit over the stock wheels but may be an aesthetic upgrade for some tastes.

 

thats right, 93's were like 13.7-.8, later wheels were like 15.8 or something... still not a huge rotational mass advantage though, but i agree if he likes the asthetics of them that could be a worthwhile venture, personally i love the stock FD rims...

 

If you're gonna upgrade, at least go w/ nicer rims. Those rims don't look very nice IMO...
