Trying to decide on wheel colour for Vertini Magics. At first i wanted silver, but the brake pads kick off a lot of dust, and the magics would be a pain to clean, i'd really only ever get the face and the spokes clean unless i soaked them every time. The black looks nice, but not sure if i could pull off the black / grey combo because of the chrome highlights on the car.......

Hey mate. The magics are a nice looking wheel. My wife has a white cruze and has similar (ish) 18" wheels.

In regards to brake dust, my wifes wheels are black, it still shows so you will be cleaning either way.

Good luck with it.

Don't modify it if it's a daily...

Hi Jets,

The Magics caught my eye a while ago, and i haven't really found anything else i like, aside from some much more expensive BBS. I quite like the Monaco too, but it will set be back a fair bit more as i'd have to order blanks, and i'm not real keen on showing off the standard rotors. Just waiting for a call back about shipping i should have my mind made up soon.

Hey Hozy,

I typically don't modify my cars, i won't be going beyond a change of wheels and a set of springs to return it to it's starting height. The Cruze have a pretty big wheel arch like a lot of new cars, i think i should still maintain most of it's driveability.

Just ordered the magics in silver along with the h&R springs, hope it looks how i've imagined it !

Floods must be holding up the wheels and springs from being delivered.

Thinking about getting new shocks to go with the springs. About the only thing i can find is Bilstein b6's but not cheap, might have to be a tax return sort of thing around about the same time the standard ones will need replacing.

Loveeeeee the colour.

That was the only colour they had if i wanted a manual, and without ordering from another dealership.
