yea she means wheels. I've heard wheels called mags or mag rims before. What are the wheels that you are looking at Rebecca? What's your budget like? We'll be able to help you decide.

Yes, it comes from a time when the lightest (ie. highest performing) wheels were made from a Magnesium alloy. Folks referred to aftermarket wheels as mags when I was growing up in the '70. Perhaps the lingo is still being used in NZ.

Maybe some other carbon bits too..

Thanks FJF. My Father always said "mags" when he was referring to wheels. For some reason I just went along with it and never bothered asking why he called them that. At least now it know.
