    This is noob but.. what the hell is exactly mags?
    I hear people throwing the word around... and to be honest mags look just like rims. Any differences?

    Looking good though! I think they look a bit small from this picture though

    Mags is short for magnesium alloy wheels... which I don't think those are. Must be some NZ slang 8)

    Looks good, btw.

    No idea, one minute it's clean, the next it's there :(

    Probably like the Indian driver who backed into me when I was parked up :evil:

    And they're 17"

    Haha. Here I say rims, and people look at me funny. Mags, and they know what I'm talking about.
    "I got new rims"
    "What?"
    "Errr...mags"
    "Oh! Let's see!"

    Yea, mags do come from the old magnesium wheels they used to have.... if you talk to some of the younger guys here, they use the term rims. Most people 20+ use the term mags.....

    Actually its common US slang too. Mostly with older domestic hotrod types. Plainly so because their wheels were exactly that, magnesium alloy. Custom wheels came to be known as "Mag Wheels" the term stuck, even to this day many people still call them "mags".
