Used Mags Tips

Hey

I am considering buying a mate at work's 2nd hand 17inch mags and aside from the rubber... is there anything I should look out for so I know if he is selling me duds so I can graciously decline?

Thanks fellas

check for the obvious scratches, and marks... check all the lips are the same.. one may have been repaired previously.. check for cracks etc. around the mounting face and the wheel nut area.. most importantly, put them on your car before handing over any cash... unless he has the same car, you'll have to check how they fit in your guards, and put all of them on the front and give them a spin and check for buckles.. etc.

theres alot more you can check if your really podantic.. but at the same time, theres nothing that cant be fixed if its a good price.

cheers

cracks and warps are the 2 big ones. Warps can be fixed but i wouldn't run a cracked rim.

The rest is cosmetic

It's pretty hard to get dudded on a wheel.

He used to have them on his S4 rx7 which is a bit of a junk heap on these hot wheels.

Gonna try 'em on my car, go around the block and see how we do.

They apparently have the same studd pattern but we'll see when I go check 'em out on the weekend.
