New owner need help, plz
 

Hello group!

I bought a ultra marine blue FR-S last summer. I'm looking for a new set of mag. I need help for choosing a color for my mags. Which color will fit well for my car.

TX

What's a mag?

What are mags?

I have that same question....

It's not Canadian lingo in case anyone's wondering... Lmao

Magnetics? Magazine? Maggie? Magician? Magnum? Magma?

I think he is asking about rims/wheels :)

As in "mag wheels"

/nod

Sounds like OP is an old school guy. Had "mags" on my '70 Buick GS

sorry, i'm a french guy. I'm lookinf for rims/wheels

Mags are made of magnesium. Rims are the outer part of a wheel.

Personally I'm a big fan of black wheels on ultramarine blue, like this:

I vote +1 for black wheels as well.

OP there are tons of great vendors on this forum, I suggest PM'ing one of them for more information or advice

Well, bronze then of course.

Ahhhh.......speaking French to us ..... ;)

Welcome to ye ol forum ..... http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...mages/wave.gif

Yep, lots to choose from ..... I would just keeps the rims you have and invest in some different tires .... but, I'm no fun ..... :(

humfrz

Lol! I never thought this was a french canadian thing! Glad to know I shouldn't mention "mags" outside of my province if I want to be understood.

I thought you were referencing condoms due to all the female attention your new ride will attract. :thumbsup:

I second this. One of the best looking cars on the forum... Makes me almost wish I'd went ultramarine... Except I wash the car obsessively and swirl marks drive me bonkers.

BLACK FTW!!! I like enkei raijin's though.

I think bronze on anything outside of a suby feels wrong. Unless it's on a panda ;D

Its on a suby.....and suby does gold not bronze

Ok gold...

Sorry. White is the best =D. But seeing as that's my car, I'm a bit biased. =D

Everybody here knows what mags are. I got an ultramarine, and keep thinking gold/bronze or white mags would look really good :thumbup:

Bronze for GBS
Gold for WRB

otherwise the hue's are off.

Hey Althoris, good to see you out of the QcFRS forums :) My vote goes for black or white. Gold is best with WRB as others have stated.

Oh, and yes, "mags" is the term us French Canadians use when talking about wheels. No idea where it comes from. It's just part of the car culture these days :)

got your mags right here http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps7eb10fdb.jpg


Jk, I think the Magnesium watanabe wheels look great on stock height

At this moment, I look for black wheel/tire/mag/rime/... Bof, all those thermes that you use and I misknow!

PS : Sorry for my english

what about mine? Silver chrome =/

I don't think it's just a French Canadian thing..this side of the country I've heard the words mag, alloys and steelies thrown around when referring to rims. probably an old school thing when the materials used to make the rims were a bigger part of marketing them

Don't worry @Altorhys we still use the term "mags" for wheels here in New Zealand. Mag being the singular. Generally it means alloy wheels rather than steelies here.

We even have a chain of stores here that sell wheels and turbo parts called "Mag and Turbo".

You get to learn the different terms in different countries. For example what the USA calls the "trunk" in a car we call the "boot" here.

BTW, I vote black as well. I think they make the blue look much more aggressive and sporty. Especially if lowered 20mm too.

Mag is short for magnesium as in magnesium alloy. The more expensive alloy wheels are primarily magnesium. Rarely would you use pure magnesium on a road car wheel nowadays, it is dangerously flammable. During the Falklands War a British destroyer constructed mainly of magnesium based alloy caught fur and burned catastrophically, for example. Fireworks that burn intensely white are burning magnesium.

Racing alloys historically were mainly or completely magnesium , nowadays I'm not sure what alloys are used.

A mag wheel is equivalent useage to an alloy or Allie wheel.

Let me fix it for you. "What's a mag, eh?"
