    what style are you after and how much are you willing to spend?

    you want something in a 4x100 stud pattern. have a search, you'll find there are heaps of threads and posts that cover all the bits you need to know, then it's just a case of finding something that you want to buy.

    Thanks for this, I'd seen some Advanti 'status' i liked the look of....approx $480 the set with no rubber.

    Where could I get the original mags refurbed to look like new and at what cost roughly?

    I appreciate your help

    there are places that do wheel repairs.

    you'll have to search on google or in the yelpages, i don't know any places off the top of my head. search on here under recommended parts and suppliers, i'm pretty sure there should be something there as well.

    what are the specs for these wheels you're looking at?

    well if you can find the specs of the wheels, we'll be able to give an indication of wether or not they'll fit or not.

    I think Brisben's post above (before yours) gives the answers.

    Thanks

    they're for the standard wheels, obviously there fit on cause they're factory.


    I'm talking about the aftermarket wheels that you're looking at buying.
