I'm sorry but I really dislike that style of rim...........
They will make an otherwise good looking car look old. A mate had a similar rim on his XD and it looked ok I 'spose, but that was 10 years ago and on a 1980 vehicle. I would really consider changing your rim choice to something that is a bit flatter in its side aspect/offset. if you look at all the current ie last 15 years, of OE rim design they are all flat (ish). CONFUSED????? (F*^CKIN' OATH you should be.......I just confused myself!)))) Long story short....keep em if you like em. Change em if you don't!!!

im also sorry but i have to aggree with phil. the magnum really is an ugly looking wheel in my point of view and if you look around you will find a much better rim than the magum. if you dealing with
CSA wheels why not go for the Gladiator or the Force 2 or something? they will suit the car much better. but if you really like them. go for it. cheers |

I like the Magnum wheel, and I think with the dish it makes the car look good.
I don't understand why you cant get wheels with a nice dish in the wheels. It's just a shame you can't get these in 17x8. If you like them that is all that matters. BenJ

I just found a pic of a set on an ef and posted in the first post. I have seen a few ef &El with them on and i like them. The fact they are deep dish they look like 17's but are only 16's. Cheers Luke. |

i think they would look better on a old ea wagon with faded cream paint, roof racks, huge susp, n dirty windows from the 5 kids in the the back..... thats my oppinion.... if ya like them, get em.... just dont put white lettering tires on em, i think that would be realy bad...

they have an old style feel about them. Maybe an XD would be more suitable.

There is no dish on those rims... The spoke curve into the centre... A deep dish rim has the spokes inside the outer edge of the rim...
They are best left to 4WDs... they are horrible!

I gotta agree, they look like they would be at home on a Pajero or something alike.
Personally I love the AUI XR6 5 Spoke wheels on the EF/L's with the right spacers.

haha, i bought my ef with 15in csa magnum RT's (blacked out between the gaps). it also had the white writing on the tyres. i ended up getting new ones, cause it looked pretty ugly. i like the wheels though, how much are you paying for them?
