mag wheels?
GTR_9Apr2011_18

how do i tell if my car has mag wheels? they look like mag wheels but i have heard that this doesnt nessacerilly mean they are. i heard you can get fake mag wheels which look like mag wheels but arent really mag wheels. so how do i tell if they are mags?


There was a time when wheels were actually made of magnesium and used on race cars. Today's alloy wheels are sometimes called "MAGS", but they are made out of aluminum, and are one piece wheels.

Steel wheels are two pieces, with the center part welded to the outer rim.

I accidentally niched my mag wheels, is there a way to rub off the scratches that are there?


It depends on the finish-are the wheels painted, polished, machine finish, Diamond cut machine finished, or chrome plated? I would not recomend trying anything until we know the finish-you may worsen the problem to the point where the repair cost may outway the valueof the wheels-you may e-mail me if you choose to.

What do you know about ACS stellar or Z mag wheels for the BMX bike?
GTR_9Apr2011_11

Im thinking about buying one set of theses for my bmx bike but i do not know alot about them could some one please inform me?

Can they break?

Do they bend and can they be trued?

What makes mag wheels different?

Are they better or worse than spoked wheels?


They don't need to be trued. They're ok if you're light weight and/or not very hard on your bikes (small jumps, smooth rider). Skyway Tuff Wheels are a little better than the 2 you mentioned.

But....they can break if abused, and aren't as strong as a good set of spoked wheels.

What sort of mag wheels will fit my car?
GTR_9Apr2011_10

I have a 2005 lancer with 2006 specifications. I want to get some new mag wheels for my car, preferably 17". However i dont know what the bolt pattern is. Is it 4X100 or 4X114.3. Also, does it matter if i get rims with either of these bolt patterns or does it have to be specific to my car?
Thank you.
P.S. Im an aussie so my car is an aussie lancer


1st what ever you get has to clear all around the tires front and rear. also steering has to be able to function as well. modifications are made for a lot of cars with your desired wheel size. you would do better to fit what size will work. and as for adapters as some one said. that's not the wheel for your car. shop around before you spend. then find the best deal after that.

Remember ! what ever wheel size , you have to replace that size tire. and the cost of that size too.

  • That Fiat Got a Hemi? Nope, but It Still Has 725 HP - Wheels Blog ...

    LAS VEGAS — Now that Chrysler’s chief executive, Sergio Marchionne, has laid out the company’s five-year survival plan , it’s not so unnatural to associate Chrysler’s iconic Hemi engine with anything wearing a Fiat badge. At least it didn’t seem so when walking the miles of aisles at the annual SEMA.Show .

    For example, surrounded by customized but cookie-cutter Camaros, Mustangs and Challengers, a perky yellow 1959 Fiat 500 sat humbly in a booth hawking welding and metal cutting equipment. At first glance from head-on, the diminutive Italian looked cute. Bug-eye headlights gave the 500 a happy look that made people smile.

    Another moment of attention quickly revealed that this Fiat was not as it was when it left the factory half a century ago. The twin Dominator carburetors (a staple of American drag racers) poked up through the hood. I was mildly disappointed to find that the engine inhaling through those high-flow carbs was not a Chrysler Hemi, but a 427-cubic inch Chevrolet V-8.
