Default Fikse: MAGs vs. FM/5s

I see everyone really likes the FM/5s but I bet the MAGs would look really sweet on an F-Body too. Does anyone have the MAGs on their F-Body? Whats the price difference between a set of MAGs and FM/5s and where can you get either at? Also, post pics if you have either on your car. Thanks.

I'm about 0% sure those are the FM/5s (around $2300 for a set of 4 17" rims, thats only rims, no tires). They look badass too. I love 'em. The Mags would also look good on there. And that other black 'bird with the Torq Thrust II rims looks awesome two. I need rims bad <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

EDIT: Those are the MAGs, they look sweet. Guess I'll have to sell a kidney and get a set now.

Yeah those pictures on the formula are MAGS...they are quite expensive. Around 500-600 for 17in and a lot more for 18in. They look damn good though. Mike

That red Formula looks bad ***!!! <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I got mine in 17x9.5 for a total of just under $2000.00 about a year ago. I was lucky and found a Group Purchase on them at the time I was ready to purchase.

They are probably the last set of rims I'll ever buy for this car. Well worth the money IMHO

Good luck in your choice <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Those are some nice wheels...

The only reason I like the Fikses alot better is the fact that they dont show the rivets like those or the HRE's. The rivets look cheap to me. Why not just hide them in the back like Fikse did??

I guess its cool that every one can see they are a multi piece wheel but if they cant figuer it out by the name does it really matter???
