What are mag wheels anyway

Mag wheels are a type of alloy wheel. Alloy is a type of metal made from combining different elements together. Mag wheels are made from magnesium alloy which is magnesium combined with other metals for strength, corrosion resistance and ability to withstand fatigue.

The term mag wheels was popularized years ago when the first magnesium alloy rims hit the market. The term became synonymous with custom wheels, even though most were steel at the time.

Today the most popular alloy used is aluminum alloy. It simply provides a better end result in custom wheels. This doesn't stop people from calling them mag wheels as it is a widely accepted term to describe any type of custom rims for your car or truck.

Mag wheels come in all different styles from spinner rims to classic wire wheels. The choices are endless these days with dealers now selling their custom chrome wheels online.
